My sister, the kids, and I spent a day at the Amsterdam science museum. It was a lovely bright if blustery day, and I took a few pictures for our family album.
arrival in Amsterdam; Romeo and Mick
our destination, the science museum 'Nemo'
seen from closer up, with a replica tall ship, the 'Batavia' moored in front of it
view across the IJ towards the quay
Romeo pulling himself up
lunch: Soraya and Mick
lunch: Romeo
view from the roof: the Scheepvaartmuseum (Museum of Shipping) next door. I used to work there before I came to HP - best job I ever had, mainly because of the perks and the people I worked with
view towards the city
the lab section, where children can experiment with chemistry and science
one of the animatronics on display
pretty!
my family: Soraya, Monique, and Romeo
For reasons I cannot comprehend, even though the picture of Romeo is saved the right way up in Photobucket, as soon as I post it here, it rotates to the right...so I've had to resort to Weblogimages, which adds an ugly banner ::deep sigh::
Mick took this opportunity to inform us that he's giving up his restaurant management course at catering college, one year before graduation. He has now decided he wants to become a hairdresser instead.

So Mick feels he can't stand one more year of catering college and be done with it then?
And it looks like you guys had a great time! Thanks for posting the pictures!
We had a fantastic time, thank you very much; so much they had to throw us out! I wish they'd had these hands-on educational exhibits in science museums when I was young; it's so much more fun to learn by trying things out for yourself than by being told about them.
