Level Up - The Art of Video Games @ EMP

I love video games.  My wife loves video games. My kids love video games.  We are truly a button-pushing, controller mashing, flashing lights family unit.  We have a full spectrum of video game systems at our house and use them regularly.  So when we saw the new exhibit at the EMP we knew we had to go.  The Art of Video Games is an incredible journey through the history of video games from the C64 and Atari to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.   With interactive displays and hands-on demos, the exhibit was informational and awesome!  The best part is with admission to the exhibit you also can explore the history of science fiction and music throughout the rest of the museum.   Game On.  EMP - The Art of Video Games

Virtual Grand Canyon - Google Street View Goes To The Grand Canyon

View Larger Map

Our family loves the outdoors.  We have hiked in more than half of the 50 States and plan to trek the rest as soon as possible.   There are some hikes that are high on our list but we are putting them on hold until our youngest gets a bit bigger.  Hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon is one of those hikes. Knowing this, the good people at Google have sent out seasoned hikers loaded down with 360 degree cameras on as many trails as possible so we can enjoy the majesty without the danger of taking a four-year-old down a cliff.  This is an awesome way to plan a future trip as well.
