Science Museum

The other day we decided we should check out some of the museums in our city and decided to start off at the Science Museum. We didn't have very high expectations. We hadn't really heard of anyone going to this museum, and couldn't really find much about it online, so I wasn't sure it would be any good or not. It was actually really awesome! We had a lot of fun!

The first floor we were on had a lot of old things - I loved this big wheel and Aashini was amazed by it!
I currently use my maiden name as my middle name, but before I was married, my middle name was Moire', so I had to to take a picture here :)
Aashini loved this part. She kept rubbing that guy's bald head :) haha!
The main problem with the museum was that it didn't have central Air Conditioning. There were fans all around and there were free-standing AC units here and there, but it was still pretty hot. Other than that, we were impressed. There were tons of interactive things to touch, play with and see how they work. Aashini LOVED it!
Aashini's favorite things were the musical ones. This one (below) was her favorite. You could run around and play the piano by running pas the sensors :)
I love seeing new things in our city and exploring - it's fun! :)

yes! It really has and I'm not sure what to do with it :) haha!
Fun! Yay for new discoveries even after living somewhere for several years!
We have a really cool science museum in our city, too. I had never been there until recently cause I had just assumed it wouldn't be good. I love good surprises. (And Grace is right there with Diya on loving feet! Yummy!)

Dusshera 2012

This year, our neighborhood was quite active for Dusshera.  At one end of our street, one of the major political parties here, set up a Dusshera celebration.   Here are some guys putting the effigies together and filling it full of fireworks! They had quite the political statement for their celebration.  (Basically that expensive water, fuel, electricity, diesel, gas, etc and FDI (bringing in foreign companies like Wal-Mart) are like Raverna (the demon god)... and are the evils of today....)  Here's their set-up at the end of our street.... you can't see it very well, but they had all three effigies there that they burned....  They burned VERY quickly at this one... So quickly that by the time I pulled out my camera, it was already on the ground!!  Our street looked like those CNN videos of rioting cities :) haha!!  There was burning stuff all over the street :)  Many people will get a piece of the leftover wood/bamboo...

Funny Things 2 - American Fair Edition

We just got back from Roadtrip #8 in Macon, GA. It was an awesome trip!! So, before we head out on the next trip, we went to the North Florida Fair! The fair is always famous for it's fried foods... they fried everything!!... They had fried/breaded zucchini, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions, green tomatoes, okra, pickles, etc :) I had a lot of it too - YUM! Now, I'd heard of fried Snickers & twinkies (which they had) but they also had FRIED OREOS & PEANUTBUTTER CUPS :) The fair was cool. They had a shark show and a sea lion show... but our favorite was the pig races :) haha!!! It was hilarious!! Aashini was close up to the race until the pigs came - then she crawled up into Adam's lap really fast :) (as seen below) :) Pig races! haha! Cracks me up!

In Thailand!

We flew to Bangkok, Thailand today! The flight went well :) Aashini cried a little, but did awesome! We got the bulkhead seat and they even had an extra seat next to us! Aashini really only set in it for a pic or two, but it was fun anyway :) You can see the Buddhist monk in red behind Aashini. The guy that set next to us was a Monk also, he was actually the translator for the Dalai Lama ! Cool hunh? It was funny because he was typing on his laptop the whole flight (and Aashini was grabbing at his robe - haha!) This picture below cracked me up so I had to post it :) When we got here we had to go get a few things at the grocery store :) Aashini went to her first grocery store in the Middle East, but this was her first time getting to ride in a cart!!! She LOVED it!! She was swining her legs, babbling up a storm and looking at everything! Thai people LOVE babies!!! She got a lot of attention today! I have a feeling she's going to get a lot of attention the next coupl...
