Day 8: Dinosaur and Learning Museums

We Spent our last Day in Albuquerque learning about Dinosaurs and computers at the Natural Science Museum in Albuquerque. The even have a live bee hive in the museum!


I know the kids really liked that area, but they absolutely loved the computer area. Did you know Microsoft got it's start in Albuquerque? Yep. Paul Allen and Bill Gates were down there in the 70's. As we were coming back from Bandelier the night before we noticed the Intel Corporation. It is HUGE!! We must have driven past the 'complex of buildings for 2 miles!

On the left Reece is Checking his programing of the pizza computer they had. The kids had to program the computer to order a pizza, drive to get it, pay, drive it to the party and back.






After that and Brock's cute video at the Microsoft exhibit, we ate lunch at Tropical Smoothie Cafe again.
Then back to the old town for the learning Museum. I can't say enough about that museum. So much to see and do! Everything there was hands on. Lights, mirrors, wind, air, music, water, sand and weight... everything you could possibly think of to learn was there! The kids loved the high wire bike right away, but didn't want to try it until Dad went first.
