Adventure Science Center & Plantetarium

We had a fun Labor Day at the Adventure Science Center. Even went to the Sudekum Planetarium to see the Skies Over Nashville.


We bought a membership pass back in March but this was the first time we noticed the bees. If you ever go to the ASC don't miss the honey bees. They are tucked away around a corner by some upstairs bathrooms. I think this was everyone's favorite thing. There's a tube that comes in through the wall so the bees can come and go as they please. There's a mirror outside the window so you can look at the bees outside too. This was so cool. We were looking at all the bees when Reed said, "Oh there's one with the number 17 on it. I'm going to call him Matt Kenseth." (Kenseth is drives the #17 car in NASCAR.) We all thought to ourselves, "Reed's using his imagination again." Then we looked closer and there really was a sticker on a bee with the number 17. That's how you know which one is the queen. We all had a good laugh about that.



The star show lasted about an hour. We all had to re-adjust to the sun being up when we came out of the planetarium. Reed said, "I guess we need to go somewhere to eat breakfast since we were in there all night."

Very cool! I love the kids' star wars t-shirts and Reeds' comment about needing to eat breakfast. That lil' guy does have an imagination. I love that!
