Summer is coming, and that usually means a lot of museum visits for us. But I fear we might be cutting back on some of our summertime adventures because of increases in gas prices.
When I was my daughters' ages, this is what kids in Massachusetts thought of when someone mentioned the science museum and the aquarium:
Nostalgia!

Amazing. I could still recite the Museum of Science commercial word for word...

I don't remember the Aquarium ad at all, but I do remember that haircut.

Posted by: briwei at May 7, 2008 1:35 PMWow, I CANNOT believe those commercials were that long ago -- they are etched in my brain. How many times did I see them for them to be so memorable? Wow!
Posted by: Maggie at May 7, 2008 3:36 PMI think I know why I don't remember these ads so well. The minute they came on, I ran out of the room yelling "Mom! Mom! Can we go? Can we go? Please? Dad? Can we go? Mom? Please? Can we?"
