Lawrence Hall of Science

Frank took the kids up to the Lawrence Hall of Science at Berkeley on Saturday. It was a beautiful crisp winter day, and we enjoyed a perfectly done thin-crust pizza at Zachary's (mmmm, tasty!) to fortify ourselves right before. Cameron polished off an enormous slice the same size his siblings had.

The pizza restaurant was employee owned and operated, and the servers were remarkably friendly and attentive. Don't know if there was a causal relationship, but it was refreshing to be served by friendly folk. An employee owned enterprise: very fitting for the Berkeley backdrop.

The museum was perfect for the kids: they enjoyed all of the exhibits, especially the interactive ones that were part of the traveling Engineer It! exhibit (see it now, as it's only in town until January 4). Though Katye declared her favorite exhibit was the gift shop where we saw a motley collection of dramatically enlarged stuffed germs called the GIANTmicrobes.
