Day 65 – Science museum & Citadella

Today we went to a science museum for the kids. We took two cars. Scott & Norbert drove the Ferrari. Norbert has quite a car collection. When Norbert & Scott got onto the highway, we didn’t see them until we arrived at the museum. It was located in what looked to be an old warehouse. It was so neat. There were 2 floors of activities for the kids to do. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a lot for Lolo to do so she went outside to a playground with Timchi while we explored the museum. The 3 girls did a lot together for almost 2 hours. But then we decided to leave.

When we had arrived, there were some people outside the museum dressed up. When we came out, there were even more. Norbert found out that next to the museum, the conference hall was hosting a “Goth Anime” convention. Think Star Trek convention, but STRANGER. A LOT stranger! We had a snack but didn’t stay too long because of all of the odd people – I think I would have preferred a Klingon!

Next we went to the Citadel to check out the views. (Now I guess we should see the one in the US). As we parked, a lot of people stared at the car. Scott was a bit worried but Norbert seemed unfazed. After we checked out the views of the city, we stopped to hear a concert. Then the three older girls (although Lolo wanted to also) started dancing to the songs. It was very cute. Then we headed to Timchi’s moms apartment to grab some dinner that she made for us – Chicken Paprikash – delicious. Then Norbert agreed to let the “girls” take the Ferrari back to the house. So Timchi and I got to drive in the Ferrari and the guys got the Volvo. But Timchi couldn’t figure out how to start the car. So she yelled back to Norbert. Three Hungarian guys were walking by, admiring the car and started laughing when she asked in Hungarian how to start the car. It was fun driving in the Ferrari. Unlike the guys, we obeyed the speed limit on our way home. After arriving home, Timchi decided that maybe she should drive the Ferrari more often :-).

Then we had the wonderful meal that Timchi’s mom made. The girls all had some of the homemade chicken soup while we had the Paprikash. Then we all headed to bed. The temperature had finally broke so it was quite a nice night for sleeping.
