After our fun at the Grove, we drove about 5 miles (which took an hour in LA traffic) over to the California Science Center to see the Space Shuttle Endeavour. The kids LOVED it. I was worried they would be all kinds of bored, but Brian wanted me to read him every informational sign in the place and Emily was equally awed, though very disappointed by the end because she assumed I had booked us a ride on the Space Shuttle. They both talked about the Space Shuttle for weeks afterward, Brian was full of questions, and Emily told everyone she met that the next time we see the Space Shuttle it will be standing straight up, because Papa told her the Science Center has plans to build a new hanger and display the Endeavour in launch position. It was an awesome trip and worth the trouble and traffic. Next time, we’d probably take the train down and bring one of the several pilots in our family to help with Brian’s questions.
