Over the past year while I have been busy working, my wife took our son to the children's science exhibit at the Washington Pavilion in Sioux Falls. Each time after he came home from there, I could easily detect that he loved it.

He was very persistent with me on trying to go there with him. I just thought it was a good thing for kids and figured mom could take him some more while I'm busy.

But, he continued telling me I needed to go. He said there were things for me to see there that I would like.

Finally I said OK, let's go check it out. Sunday afternoon was set aside for the adventure.

The first thing I realized when I walked in was, he knew what he was talking about. I had a wonderful experience enjoying checking out fascinating things along with my son.

We wrapped up the visit with a movie about under the ocean in the dome with a tub of popcorn. Before leaving, I purchased a one year family membership.

We will be spending more time there for sure. And I recommend that you check it out.
