As you might know Gemma is a huge weather freak (she's obsessed..... it's kinda scary!), when we heard that the science gallery in Dublin were having an exhibition about weather we had to check it (Gemma probably would have imploded if we didn't). So this past Thursday we headed into Dublin city to have a look at the exhibit, Strange Weather, (and to have bit of a frolic in general).
The science gallery doesn't open until midday so we decided to head into Dublin a bit earlier and do a bit of Shopping (let's face it, we're girls and given any chance to exchange money for goods and services, we're in there like swimwear).
After a little bit of retail therapy, we headed for lunch in Captain Americas on Grafton Street. This place does super yummy food and cocktails but seen as it was only 1 o'clock (which is before the acceptable time to start drinking) we got ourselves some pizza (which was delicious we might add). *Oh quick side note, if any of you guys are with o2 (The phone network) you can get yourself a 'buy one, get one free' on all main courses so check that out here.

After we were fed and watered, we went on our merry way towards the Science Gallery. The gallery itself is on the grounds of Trinity college so we got a chance to look at the beautiful architecture that covers the grounds.
We got to the science gallery at a nice time and there wasn't a huge crowd there. By this stage Jo thought Gemma was going to explode with excitement and she wasn't let down.
The exhibit had loads on offer for both children and adults interested in weather. From weather charts to people making clouds with helium, from models of the earth and predicted weather cycles to a screen that let you interact with cloud patterns. There was even a place where you see what it's like to be a weather person and read off a teleprompter in front of a green screen. They even film it and put it up on Youtube so you can watch it later. We had so much fun with this and it's way harder than you may think. If you want to see us making complete messes of ourselves you can watch the videos below.

Jo's Future Forecast
Unfortunately Youtube hates us and refuses to let us put Jo's video on the blog, so if you want to see Jo's forecast video you're gonna have to do the ole fashioned copy and paste of this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJZBNo7i-PY
Over all it was a great day and the gallery was well worth it. The exhibit runs until the 5th of October and entry to the science gallery is free so there's no reason not to check it out if you're around Dublin. Check out the Science Gallery's website here for more information.
Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed.
Until next time
XO Gem and Jo
