KM's favorite part of the show that was the experiments with the carbon dioxide - (dry ice)![Image]
We wandered into a large room with boards set up everywhere and then she discovered that they were all paper airplane experiments! She has spent the last 3 weeks finding paper airplane directions, plans and printouts on-line.

We had a spectacular day, the weather was perfect and we got some incredible information. . .to think about.[Image]

If you are in the area - or close to the area - I would suggest the ride in this week as it was totally worth it. There are events and attractions going on all week in different parts of Cambridge!
