Maryland Science Center

We had such a fun visit to the Maryland Science Center in the Baltimore Inner Harbor. They had such an interesting variety of exhibits and so many interactive opportunities.

We started in the Geology section

Then we went to learn about the human body

Love this poster on fear where someone's greatest fear was Rick Santorum

Beautiful view of the Inner Harbor

A physical science exhibit

A fun day and a beautiful setting -- even in the rain. Afterwards we headed to Pizzeria Uno to warm up before heading home.

Such a cool museum! Your kids are going to be pros at museum visiting. I love the picture of Ella on the bed of nails and the one of Leah with the germy phone. Thanks for sharing.

Make up your mind to be happy-even when you don’t have money, even when you don’t have a clear complexion, even when you don’t have the Nobel Prize. Some of the happiest people I know have none of these things the world insists are necessary for satisfaction and joy. Why are they happy? I suppose it is because they don’t listen very well. Or they listen too well-to the things their hearts tell them. They glory in the beauty of the earth. They glory in the rivers and the canyons and the call of the meadowlark. They glory in the love of their families, the stumbling steps of a toddler, the wise and tender smile of the elderly. They glory in honest labor. They glory in the scriptures. They glory in the presence of the Holy Ghost. One thing I know for certain: the time we have here goes by far too quickly. Don’t waste any more time sitting on the bench watching life pass you by. -- Joseph B. Wirthlin

When despair for the world grows in me, and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be -- I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought or grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. --Wendell Berry
