Exotic Destinations

We love to travel to interesting places.  Learning History, Geography and Science is a lot more fun when you are there to witness it!

All work and no play wouldn’t be fun!  We also do stuff just for FUN!

The BEST family movie about the Galapagos is the one made for 3-D IMAX.  It was produced by the Smithsonian Institution and IMAX, Ltd., and follows scientists on a research expedition to the remote Galápagos Islands.  The film features Smithsonian marine biologist, Dr. Carole Baldwin, who first visits the famous terrestrial world of the islands and then explores the little known underwater realm, at one point plunging to a depth of 3000 ft. in a modern research submersible!     

    Dr. Carole Baldwin, the star of the 3-D IMAX movie “Galapagos” was so kind to give us this autographed poster. It is dedicated “To the Prutchi Family, Best fishes! Carole Baldwin”
