I should upload photos... later .-. *la~zy~*
We ended up going to the museum yesterday, cos on Monday the cheese took too long to grill, and then it was 1:00, and... yeah. Was fun tho =D Even though our plan to avoid the kiddies on mid-term break failed miserably--there were at least three school groups there Xx;;
Anyway! They had an aquarium on the first floor, with a big tank of lionfish =D I love lionfish. There was one that was just going around~ and around~ and around~ in circles. It was doing it when we went in, and still circling when we came out. Silly fish. And they had a triggerfish =D not the Picasso fish, one of those black ones with big white spots. This will only mean something to my family unit and anyone else who's been snorkelling, but whatever. Triggerfish~ =D
Second floor was... rocks and things, if I remember correctly. No! Bugs! With a huge~ model spider on the roof that scared Sallie, because it MOVED X3 I was looking for a huntsman somewhere, but alas =( No redbacks either, or white tails. Kill the white tail >O
I think they had rocks and things on that floor as well, now that I think about it. And we won~ two games =D We sucked at the "guess that citrus fruit" one tho. And we didn't know whether to put the bit of coral under mineral or animal, because it's a rock, but it has animals living in it. We so won that game tho >D
Third floor had civilisations and people, lots of ancient Egyptian and Greek things, a mummy that we weren't sure whether it was real or something they just wrapped up in bandages, lotsa jewellery, and lovely things like that.
Then~ we decided to have lunch, in the cafe back on the ground floor. So down the stairs we traipsed, only to find that there was also a cafe on the top floor ^^; We suck XD; Then back up the stairs again to the forth floor of dinosaurs and stuffed lions and zebras, proving that we're both riduculously unfit. Huzzah! The dinosaur section seemed incredibly small after the Museum of Natural History, but that's London for you. There for the big impress *nods*
Top floor was time and space, with lots of old clocks and a space bit that was completely empty and had only three of the exhibits working. We wasted time pressing all the buttons in there before half-past so we could hear all the clocks chiming at once... only to miss them entirely. WOOT!
And~ that was about it. Wandered around Liverpool a bit before coming home, so that was fun =D Tomorrow~ we're going to Chester Zoo, come rain, hail or whatever the hell else English weather can do at this time of year >O
