It's a bit of a drive from Pasadena, but it's very cool kids thing to do in SoCal: [link] Science for kids!!
Yeah, it's a drive. Sorry, don't know LA area, I know OC area a bit better.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Discovery Cube is fun, omnis, although I usually default to the California Science Center for that kind of hands-on museum because it's free and it's close to my work. Several other good museums there as well. But that's downtown, not Pasadena. Just as you don't know the LA area, my knowledge of Pasadena area is thin. I'm better with LA proper.
Oo Pasadena does have Kidspace Museum, which isn't free but it is fun. Skews a bit younger than the Science Center.

If any other car nuts would like it, I'd love to do a trip to the Peterson Automotive Museum. [link]

I went to Petersons with my dad when he visited once. He's a retired mechanic. He acted like a kid saying "I don't wanna go..." We get there, and upon entering the hall, sees the first cool car, and then he was like a kid in a candy store...that has stickers too. Spent the whole day there. He loved it... Then he proceeded to complain about LA traffic all the way home. Ironic, I think.
That to say, I highly recommend!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Yes! Matilda and Em need to spend more time together if we are ever to achieve World Domination.

If we can swing tickets and maybe some roomies, I am hoping we can cover the costs.

You...Polar Bear!
ND was my secret santa that year, and one of the things he sent me was a polar bear keychain from Alaska. I promptly put my work keys on it. I took great personal comfort in taking the polar bear to meetings and idly jingling it at my cow-workers, knowing that I was calling them motherfucker the whole time.
