THE SCIENCE BEHIND PIXAR EXHIBITION at the California Science Center :: A Giveaway
Last weekend we attended The Science Behind Pixar Exhibition at the California Science Center. I am a bit embarrassed to say we had never visited the center before but I am so glad we had the opportunity to see firsthand all the wonderful things going on at the center!
