A day at the museum

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.
