Visit the Exploratorium. I have never been here (in person), but would like to make a visit. For now, I will settle for a web experience.
Are you familar with Mt. Washington the highest peak in New Hampshire's White Mountains. The highest recorded winds have been observed at the observatory on this 6288 foot mountain.
If you have ever been to the Seattle area, hopefully you saw Mt. Ranier (click here for a view from the University of Washington) or even better went to the Mt. Ranier National Park. The Cascades are quite the place to visit! Click here for some pictures of the better known peaks.
I enjoy nordic skiing and four of my kids are involved in the Bill Koch Youth Ski League. They have lots of fun in the snow. Check out the New England Nordic Ski Association NENSA for more information about nordic skiing in New England. Check out this picture, it's from the world's largest cross country ski race, the Vasaloppet in Sweden.
