We first tried to go to the Legion of Honors, because it was free and Leilani did like the sculpture garden quite a bit, and seemd interested in the art inside, but the minute Narnia showed up it was over. They behaved like 6 year olds… or worse :-)


We gave up and drove to the Exploratorium. On the way there the iphone got me lost. I get lost a lot more now, that I don’t have paper maps anymore.

Leilani loved it enough that I got a membership.
This exhibit had a green pained room in the little house and a white room with green light. One could stick an arm in and see the different light. If that was too boring there was also a train going around that could be watched by the less scientifically inclined…

Big bubbles…

And lots of fun computer stuff

Velcro building shapes!

And blocks for patterns…



We actually built that catenary arch!

We met Andy at the Moma, which was free that day as well and walked around for the last hour. Leilani asked why they put up young people’s paintings and didn’t quite believe that famous adults painted that stuff.


She really liked that one though…

We went to see Union Square and the Westin and the Swarofski Crystal Shop, and Leilani pestered us to go ice skating. It was really cold and we promised to come back for ice skating the next day.
