Museums around Virginia


Today (Tuesday, April 16, 2013) we went to the Virginia Living Museum. There were lots of animals there but most of them looked sad. Next, we went to the Virginia Air and Space Museum. There were lots of aircraft there. Looking around, we spotted a copy of Curiosity and it was cool. It is always exciting to hear or read about something and then see it in real life. There were lots of simulators but I pretty much failed at all of them. Lastly, we went to Fort Monroe and it was pretty interesting. Fort Monroe was used in the Civil War, World War I, and World War II. The fort was pretty well armed to. It had cannons lined all over the wall.[MH]
Fort Monroe was pretty cool.  It is the only stone fort built in the US and has such a long history.  Amazing that this is where the Monitor and Merrimack had their encounter.  It is also where Jefferson Davis was imprisoned after the war

  2. Why don't they combine those museums so the animals could have more fun?? And maybe wear leather helmets and goggles if they felt like it. Missing you guys and glad you're having so many adventures!! kate
