What you see is what we did

Yes, what you are going to see is what we did - within a day!

Today is the annual Dollar Day of Baltimore city. That means all the participated museums and centers are only changing $1 for the admission fee. Dad and Mom decided to visit Baltimore Aquarium and Maryland Science Center with the boys.

Of course, a big crowd was expected so we started the day early. While Dad was waiting in line for the tickets to Aquarium, Mom took the boys to the mall to stay warm.

Dad dressed up in layers to be prepared for the long line but luckily it only took us 20 minutes to get the tickets. Here are Alvin and Mason, the explorers.

With the bright sun shine, it doesn't feel that cold at all. We enjoyed sometime out in the harbor.

The best part of our visit in Maryland Science Center is the Planetarium. As Alvin has been learning the Solar system, Universe and Galaxy in the recent two months, the parents have learned a lot with him. The visit to the center is just perfect in time.

The show we watched in the Planetarium is called "Sky Live!". We learned about the stars and how to identify various constellations on a round projected sky.

This is brontosaurus and Alvin in real sizes.

When we came out, the harbor is lighted with Christmas decorations and filled with Christmas musics. We can smell the holiday spirit in the air!

But, wait, that doesn't end our day. We rushed back to Potomac and it was just in time for the Ice Show in Cabin John Ice Rink! We have been trying to introduce Alvin to ice skating and seeing all the young talents in this show definitely give him more confidence, more or less.
