da Vinci Experience

Last week, on Thursday, we traveled to the San Diego Air and Space Museum on a bus. Kekoa thought it took a long time to get there.

We talked to a man who worked there about the planes that were in front of the museum. Guy thought they were so awesome! We had a snack and then went inside. First we went into the da Vinci exhibit and started with a movie about da Vinci. We walked through the exhibit, looking at the machines and touching the ones that had green signs on them. A green sign meant that you could put your hands on the machine and try it out. The machines were models of the drawings he had put in his notebooks. Kamryn thought the inventions were really cool. Rhiannon especially liked the hall of mirrors because you could see your back and most times you don't get to see that! Maya's favorite part of the museum was the hallway that had da Vinci's paintings in it. Erika's favorite part was seeing a model of the wings we talked about in class.

In other parts of the museum, there were planes, helicopters and spacecrafts. We even saw an old fashioned car! There was a special room dedicated to astronauts. There were lots of photos of them and you could learn more about the planets. In the back, there were some fake people inside a helicopter and Sabrina thought they looked real. Chelsea thought that the fountain in the middle of the museum was beautiful.

The museum was interesting to Kaitlyn and Briana thought the trip was fun! Gina thought we all learned a lot about Leonardo da Vinci. We had a great time visiting the museum and hope we'll be able to go there again! Maybe next time we'll get to go on that cool ride. :)
