Day 22: Tech Museum

Thursday, July 17

We woke up at 9:00 and had breakfast at 9:30. They had no ore waffles and max was disappointed. We left the hotel at 10:15 and drove to the San Jose Tech Museum. We parked our car and walked into the Tech Museum. After paying for our tickets we walked down stairs and walked through the Go Green exhibit. We saw how a indecent light bulb requires 69 watts and a florescent bulb only requires 6. After seeing how turbines work we saw our i-max on the Alps. The movie was about an american who lived in Switzerland for five years. His dad died while climbing the Agar because his rope broke while he was climbing. His son came back to Switzerland with his wife and his daughter. He decided to climb with his two Swiss friends. They decided to climb the same path his dad climbed. They all made it to the top but one of the friends, who was a mother of two small children, had to be taken down by a helicopter because he had a lot of back pain. After he made it down he knew he had finally finished his life long quest. After the movie we learned about the Internet and saw a show about Pirates. We went upstairs and were allowed to design the roller coaster and then virtually ride on it. Upstairs there were many things you could program. The museum had over 400 ands on activities! We left around 3 and went to the hotel. There we went in the pool for an hour and then got dressed. We had dinner at a nice restaurant with Dad. We went to bed early because we had to leave at six in the morning
