Family outing. (Shout out to Stuart) Got to see amazing artifacts at the Pompeii exhibit currently visiting the Pacific Science Center. What a tragedy almost 2000 years ago, and yet, it could easily happen here on any given day. I guess you could say it has, say 1980 - Mt St Helens! As you are leaving the exhibit, after seeing the replicas of the body casts of those whose lives were snuffed out by a volcanic tantrum, you get to walk thru information about all the volcano's that surround where we live. Science. No filters.

| How old were their antiques before they became antiqued artifacts? |
It was nice to visit on a weekday afternoon, no crowds, therefore we could go at our own pace, which then allowed us to talk to each other about what we were seeing. I think there were more security personnel than visitors. Grama Carole shared differences between what was on display here and her tour of the actual sight a few years ago, such as the jewelry collection. Yes, I was tempted to pick up a necklace in the gift shop on the way out, what can I say, some things just don't go out of style, or if you wait 2000 years, they come back around?
