Mix fun with education on Bay Area museum outing - San Jose Mercury News







Mix fun with education on Bay Area museum outing - San Jose Mercury News:

"I've witnessed spontaneous combustion.

Unite my 10-year-old daughter with her two precocious cousins, ages 10 and 13, and it's like putting a lighted match to gunpowder. An explosion of screeching, shouting, jumping and caterwauling follows.

So on a museum outing with all three, I needed to find frivolous fun to balance the mental stimulation. That's how we ended up pairing the cerebral stimulus of a visit to the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park with the lighthearted fun of a stop at the Burlingame Museum of Pez Memorabilia."
