I love this place
As a last fling before we leave mainland shores, we drove to Los Angeles to visit some of my favorite childhood vacation places. My grandparents always took us to museums when we'd spend a week with them each summer, and this was one of my favorites. Now I'm sharing the memories with the next generation.
The Griffith Observatory had some old familiar exhibits, like the purple-lighting shooting Van Der Graaf generator:
And the earthquake detector:
But I also saw some fun new exhibits, like the infrared camera.
P.S. Check out this billboard we saw on the way home:

What a great post about a great trip! I must admit that I am a little jealous... But mostly I'm just glad that you guys made it out there & made some very meaningful memories. We just watched "Rocketeer" the other day, so when dad saw this post he said, "Hey, that's where they filmed "Rocekteer" - and so it is! It's a great building.
They know it -- they were selling Rocketeer at the gift shop.
What a fun day! And, Vegas could use a good Buzz Lightyear billboard.
