A boy king

Last month we took advantage of our membership to the Pacific Science Center in Seattle and got deeply discounted tickets for the King Tut exhibit.
It was so very cool, and there were so many interesting things to see. I took way too many pictures. No flash, of course, but my cell phone took surprisingly good photos.
I think we were the last stop on the king's tour of North America. The kids were disappointed that the mummy wasn't the real one, but we made up for it later. We took them the Ye Ole Curiosity Shoppe on the waterfront and they got to see TWO mummies. Sylvester, who has been there since who knows when. I remember seeing him as a kid when we came to visit my grandparents, and now there is a female mummy there. I want to say her name is Sylvia, but I might be wrong. I can't remember.
So, at the King Tut exhibit the kids weren't quite as into it as Chuck and I were, but then I guess when you're 10 and 11 it wouldn't be as engaging to look at statues and old stuff.
Here are a few of the highlights.

An Egyptian bed found in the tomb.

Thousands of years ago they had games. These were in
his tomb.

Statues of the tomb builders.

The boy king.

Ramesses II

Sarcophagus for his cat.

The fake mummy. They were interested, but disappointed by the fake.

After the exhibit we went to eat at the Crab Shack.
