the biodome ...

we love love love to ride public transportation when we travel .. maybe this is because we don't have subways where we live .. or any other form of public transportation for that matter .. 

so we are heading out to what was at one time the Olympic park in 1976 ..

2 subway rides and a handful of stops later we arrive .. 

pretty interesting looking isn't it .. of course you can go to the top of the observation tower .. and yes we did this .. jeff loves all things that are tall that you can go up in and look out ..

 i do as long as there is an elevator to the top !

poor kids .. i can't see anything momma .. maybe that 's because it's pointing up at the sky 

the soccer field .. an the triangle looking building in the background is where all the athletes stayed .. 

i love this picture .. it completely sums up my family when we travel .. we have not even been in the tall tower 5 minutes and jeff is already looking at the next stop on his long list of things that we are going to see for the day .. cash has seen something that is totally awesome and is getting ready to shout "momma look at that" at the top of his lungs so that everyone in the observation tower can hear him .. and ellie .. she is thinking of something sweet and wonderful .. probably granny .. or that pretty dress we saw in the window on the way over .. 

after spending our "allotted time" in the tall tower we moved over to the bio dome .. which is where the swimming events where held ..

it's now a zoo of sorts .. they had 3 little ecosystems in there and animals

and then of course .. there was the pool .. 

and yes cash hollared awesome at the top of his lungs .. and it's huge momma .. 

they have public swim monday thru friday from 3-5 .. had jeff known this we would have brought our swimming suits .. would have been kinda neat to swim in an olympic pool .. 

but we didn't .. and we didn't ever make it back over there either ..
