Free Massage at NCMLS
Do you remember the virtual screen on the second floor at the Science Museum, right out of the elevator doors? There were four rotating screens: planets, raining cats and dogs, shapes, and psychedelic colors. I guess it broke a few months ago (it had been there eons–though never lost its appeal), and the small room was empty.
Today I took the girl to the museum for RockSort (determine type of rock through tests like scratching, floating/sinking, attraction or not to magnet, color, vinegar bubbles) and we got to see the NEW virtual screen.
Ahh, it’s so cool. I really had to keep going back in to try it. You can move the beads around on the screen with your arms, head, legs. You can toss them a bit; they get stuck on your head. If you stand and let them fall on your head and down your body, I swear it “feels” just like a mini-massage. Here, I’ve trapped some in-between my arm and head.

It reminds me of those sandscape desk toys from the early 90s - very zen! :)
This looks like a lot of fun. I’m glad you included the picture though. Next time I go to the museum, I’m totally going to hog this screen from the kiddies.
Cool photo! I haven’t been to the museum in a few years (since I took my niece) but I always enjoy reading about the updates on your site. It’s about time for another trip!
The boy’s been going since he was in the womb. :) Yes, I think you should go! It’s always neat to see couples on dates there, b/c that’s something we used to do, too. :D It’s a very nice place to take a stroll (with or without a stroller), and Grayson’s Cafe is yummy.
