Museum travels

On Sunday night we had the privilege of hosting my classmate, Steve Pagels, and his family at our home. Then yesterday morning we headed to the Museum of Science and Industry, my first visit there since about the sixth grade. Both Tarren and Lucas had been there once in the past couple years. It was a beautiful day for a morning drive down the lake shore.

Lucas served as the trail blazer most of the day, forcing the pace for the rest of the group. More than once Tarren and I said to one another that it would be nice to come to this museum without a two-year-old! We lasted until about 1:30 P.M., though Lucas was insistent that he wasn't tired. Of course, he feel asleep as soon as the car started moving. A nice day.

Summer is slowly creeping to an end. Forecasted temperatures over the next week dip considerably. We are looking forward to fall!

Twelve years ago we traveled to Washington D.C. with a couple of toddlers and the last child in utero. We vividly remember negotiating the double stroller through Arlington National Cemetery. We returned to D.C. this summer with children aged 14, 13, and 11. The trip was very different. Arlington was easier to enjoy. But both trips made wonderful memories.

I visited that museum in 1948 and found it most enjoyable and entertaining. I did not see it all and told myself that I would return some day and it is unfulfilled up to 2007.

You're always welcome to come for a visit. Getting to the Museum from our house is actually half of the fun, as it's a wonderful drive. And, of course, there's more than one museum to see in our area.
