Sunday, we took the boys to OMSI, Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. A special exhibit Ends of the Earth: Polar Bears to Penguins, is showing until 1/6. We also saw the Antarctica IMAX movie in the OMNIMAX Dome Theatre. Instead of the tall typical IMAX screen, the dome shows the movie all around you, similar to a Planetarium. Added bonus, you can see the movies without paying admission to the museum.
As many times as we have visited science museums over the years, this one offers new exhibits and experiments for all ages. They even have a chem lab and electronics experiment center. Of course, the boys show more skill and interest as they get older. Plus, we were able to learn more about our new state. I was a little surprised by the earthquake probability. The water rocket was the favorite and Henry is requesting our own set up at home.
The slide show show current pictures. The above are from our visit in 2002.

I think being able to see the movies without paying museum admission is cool.
The probability is more than zero!!! Actually, not too bad. Maybe 50% for a 5 mag or less. The % goes down for larger and within less years. Also, we are in the outer areas less effected.
I should add a countdown counter to my blog. I can't wait to get unpacked and settled in our own place.
PS Thanks for leaving comments. It's nice to know you are checking in on us.
Let me add, the earthquake probability isn't as amazing as the Bigfoot sightings...5 within one mile of our new house. You can find that information on GoogleEarth.
Isn't that funny! Wade found that info on GoogleEarth while viewing our house. They include colored dots with various fyi, i.e. history, famous persons, schools...Bigfoot sightings.
