Museum of Science and History

My sister and I took the kids to the Museum of Science and History today.  It was somewhat surreal considering this was a yearly fieldtrip destination for both of us all the way through elementary school.  Had I packed a lunch that included a fried pie and a coke can wrapped in aluminum foil it would have been like going back in time.  As it was the trip was a vague reminder of how long it's been since elementary school (20 years!).  It was also pleasantly unsettling to think of the fieldtrips Giddy and Liyah may take to the very same place in the future.  We had a good time and will probably be back (it is much closer to my sister's house than mine).  The pictures really tell the story here: Science and History Museum Pics.
