Air & Space & Science Museums

Right next to USC are a few great museums. We drove up to LA with Mitch one day and checked out two of them. We went to the Science Museum which was really cool. They had insects, and brains, and hearts, and chickens, and all sorts of cool scientific stuff. They even had a "surgery" room where they projected an image of a surgery onto a mannequin (below). The surgery they were doing in the film was an ASD closure - something Finnley may have to have done one day - so it was really interesting (and a bit scary) to watch. After Mitch headed to school, Finnley and I walked over to the Air & Space Museum. Finnley is obsessed with airplanes and helicopters. She can pick them out of the sky before Mitch and I even hear one. She is so cute about it. So, she was really excited to sit inside an actual helicopter and loved fiddling with all the pedals, throttles, etc.
Finnley checking out a little lobster. She loved watching the mice in the toddler area. They would run on their little wheel, and she would just sit and watch them. It was so cute. Next time we'll have to check out the Natural History Museum. We hear its pretty awesome!
