Museum of Science and Industry

We spent a day at the Museum of Science and Industry.  The MSI is really great these days.  First we visited the coal mine.  I hadn't been in there for 30+ years.


The Fairy Castle was under renovation.  So all he little parts were on display.  


Very cool!


Then we visited the famous german WWII sub, the U-505.



They really have it set up well in a new display room.  Used to be outside.  Now in its own big room along with a bunch of information and artifacts.


Took the tour.  First time I have done this in 20 some years.


It's very well preserved.


They have a great space exploration section.  Alex on the moon.



For the holidays they have xmas trees representing 100 countries.  This one is Thailand.


Alex takes a zap to the heart.


Man made lightening.


They also had a neat exhibit on Disney.  I forgot he was born in Chicago.  Lots of neat memorabilia.  But its definitely more fun to go to Disneyland!
