Wassup wit Museums?

The Auckland War Memorial Museum is a truly grand old building. Modeled after the Greco-Roman temples of old this imposing site is well worth a visit. Enter:

We stayed at a nice motel and had a very nice dinner at Cobb & Co (ah memories)

The next day after killing time at a local park we went for the 4D USS! We have a DVD of this, will have to show ya some time :)

Then it was off to the Museum - WooHoo! It was quite a journey.

Favourite bits:

Les (The Dad) - I really enjoyed learning more about the history of New Zealand's involvement in the World War 2 - I only got 33% in 7th form History :( A crazy sacrifice that seems like a whole world away. Indebted to these brave men and women who served.



Ella (6) - The Maori exhibitions and climbing in a tree-house. Her younger brother seems to have the Pukana down! "BLEH!"




Joe (4) - The Volcano Exhibition. We heard about this for days after. He poured over his little Volcano leaflet and Iceland confirmed his love for Volcano's by erupting and disrupting the world's travel industry.



Jackie (The Mum) - She just liked seeing her family enjoying themselves!

War veterans would talk on the phones about their experiences

Trays and trays of interesting critters!

Lot's more photos but for now...

Wassup!
