Museum Day

Me: do y’all want to go to the trampoline park tomorrow?

Leo: I’d rather go to a museum….

So we did. 

Touching sharks and rays

First stop was the Sea Center on the Santa Barbara pier, 

always a favorite with its hands-on exhibits 

Exploring sediment from the ocean floor - Jac found a tiny live crab!

and friendly docents (mostly college age kids).

We thought about going to SB’s Natural History museum next … 

The octopus was the most active I’ve ever seen - fun to watch

before I remembered the Moxie kid’s museum (here) that we’d talked about visiting but never got around to.  

So fun! Another great place for hands-on exploration (the third floor roof top exhibits were especially fun.)

Me, Jac and Grape, the lavender octopus 

We let our membership to the SB Zoo lapse, thinking the kids were getting too old to enjoy it… guess where else Leo wants to go? 

Gotta re-visit all the fun places before the girls move in late August. 😭
