JPL open house, Disneyland for geeks. We headed off 8 AM in the morning for a 9 AM open house. We figured we have plenty of time but what we didn't know was that everyone else had the same idea. We got to La Canada Flintridge in 30 mintues and then promptly waited in traffic for over an hour. We finally decided to park in the surrounding neighborhood and walk in.
We and throngs of others had the same idea.
This was one of the few exhibits that we could get into. The lines were very long.
We were told by JPL employees that they were expecting 65,000 people for the open house. I think if we had know we would have stayed home. We met up with some friends and had a good social visit but we did not see much of JPL. Jacob did not sleep well the night before. I think the heat and walking wore him out but he will swear that he did not fall asleep.
