WaterWays Exhibit
If you’re ever in San Jose and have a child under the age of 10 with you, check out the
Children’s Discovery Museum. It’s a fun destination with lots of hands-on activities for kids of all ages. My daughter really liked the water display and the hands-on project area. It’s right downtown, plenty of parking, close to mass transit, right near the intersection of Highway 87 and I-280. Admission is $8.
If you’re in San Francisco, there’s a very similar museum called the
Exploratorium near the marina. We highly recommend that as a destination too (we visit the
Exploratorium at least once per month and maintain a membership there.)

We’ve done a prior entry on StormWatch talking about their roof system. Now, Meredith and company have released a storm shutter system. We don’t worry about hurricanes much in the San Francisco area, but if you’re on the Gulf Coast, you sure do. There are many advantages to the StormWatch approach but chief among them is visibility. Take a look at the glass doors in the image below with the shutters deployed.
If you live in a hurricane zone, check out StormWatch’s products. They could save you a bundle this hurricane season.
