Our trip to the maryland science center

Our Chol HaMoed trip was to the Maryland Science Center. We hadn't been there in a while so I was dismayed that there was no onsite parking. Instead we had to park accross Light Street. At least it afforded us a nice view of Camden Yards.

Pay attention to the hourly rate as opposed to the 10 minute rate at this rental place. This is, after all, the Maryland Science Center, not the Maryland Math Center. Why not just rent the Segway 6 times at the 10 minute rate?

The above re-creation based on two sets of dinosaur prints depicts the Maryland state dinosaur - an Astrodon - getting its hind section handed to it by a predator. This isn't much different than what's been experienced by the Astrodon's ornithilogical success (the Baltimore Oriole) when it faces its opponents. (The paleontologists discussing these tracks admitted that the re-creation may have been suggested by the tracks, but a number of other reasonable explanations existed, too.)

Overall the family had a great time. Unfortunately we missed the nitrogen show, which is really neat. I don't think that the inertia show was bad though. And we also skipped Grossology. Having a seven month old gives us plenty of gross stuff to study.
