Thursday morning, we got up and cooked breakfast and cleaned up. That was when lots of cars showed up and dropped off lots of Scout-y looking kids, who started setting up campsites. We were concerned that it would be loud at night, with so many young people, but as I said above, it was a school activity and was over before we returned from the Science and History Museums.
The Science museum has scenery of native plants and animals of all areas of North Carolina. Also some whale skeletons and dinosaurs and minerals. When we were done there, we went back to the van and at the lunch we brought, because a Scout is Thrifty. The history museum has a permanent exhibit on the whole history of the state. There was also a display about the Women’s Suffrage movement in NC, one on Beach Music (which I missed), interesting veterans from NC (starting with the Spanish-American War), and my feet hurt.
I bought the mushroom book at the science museum, and a bat cookie-cutter for me and a penguin one for Drama Queen. At the history museum, I got a small book of WPA Slave Narratives for Anoreth and a refrigerator magnet for Bill. Didn’t see anything for Tom, but we buy him groceries ;-). And Kathleen picked out a postcard for Elen, USMC, with a view of mountains.
The Science Museum sounds great!
