Hey guys!
Sorry it has been so long since I've actually done a post on here! It's been an eventful couple of weeks, with school starting back up and my Mom coming to visit for a week.
Luckily, Tyler and I were able to get a day off together and explore some of Portland a little bit better. Portland is known for its artistic people and its complex art venues, so we decided to spend a day checking out some of the places we haven't been to before. One of the places that we knew we had to visit was OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry), which is a huge museum on the East side of Portland.
Unfortunately for us, it wasn't as worthwhile as we had hoped. It's not that the museum itself wasn't well kept or that the exhibits weren't exciting, it was just geared towards a different generation than us.. (and by that, I mean.. little kids.) Everything was extremely interactive, which would be awesome if we had brought our little brothers, but was not our cup of tea.
The museum was huge though, and I could tell they had put a lot of thought and effort into making it useful for children. It was also spring break in PDX, and I think a lot of parents just brought their children, so that they had something to do. We still made the most out of it, and actually had a good time looking at some of the artifacts they had.
Luckily, the Planetarium kind of rounded out the entire experience and made for such an amazing ending to a hectic day. OMSI offers shows every hour in their Planetarium and it was honestly one of the coolest things to watch. It was literally like being Ross and Rachel (if you get that reference, bravo.) OMSI also offers late night days, where adults can come, grab a beer and explore the museum without children. Hopefully the next time we go, we'll have a drink in our hand instead!
It really was such a beautiful view though. OMSI sits right on the waterfront, so Tyler and I explored the area a little bit more once we left. It was a rainy day, but the perfect weather for a little walk.
Portland is seriously one of the most beautiful cities, and I'm so fortunate. Although OMSI was a little bit disappointing, I'm super happy we got to experience it. Maybe next time, we can go, drink a little bit and play with the kids stuff.
Until next time,
Stephen
