Smithsonian Magazine Free Museum Day + Gilroy Gardens $15 in Sep
3rd time to Hiller Aviation Museum thx to SMFMD - but boy, HAM really, REALLY, needs a big refresh. In-&-Out in 'bou an hour, and nothing excited Lopy and Caty anymore. Same old exhibit, jammed in 1 tiny hall. Suggestion - more interactive stuff (and not those flight simulation thing). Too bad that we never got to see the autogiro - it's supposed to be there by 11 am and never showed up when we left around 11:30 am. Lopy was hooked on that tiny chopper toy. That's it. Caty - not even the cockpit was attractive to her! Went to Gilroy Gardens due to the special Sep deal. It was hot, but the 2 kids stayed past their nap time and had gr8 fun from 10 am - 3:30 pm. They were tired, but hey, it's GG! I'm surprised that the Ferris Wheel is still off - that means it's off of the entire season, and GG's not even gonna fix it at all (for the season). Other than that, we again played everything, except the Swan water ride (too tired for us due to huge weight different). Lopy's now tall enuf to play BOTH of the roller coaster ride, so he was super psyched and happy, as can be seen from the not interesting anymore gold fish ride (taken after he rode the roller coaster ride).
