Today we drove on down to San Antonio and checked out the Leonardo exhibit since we love all things DaVinci AND we are studying mechanical science. The museum is very nice, situated on the river in Brakenridge park and boasting Umlauf statues out front, it was easy to find and had safe and shaded parking.
The kids science area was really fun! After a school group cleared out we had the place to ourselves! They rode a bicycle across a cable, uncomfortably close to the river's edge and two stories high. The first floor was dedicated to simple machines--perfect!--then there was the energy basement, weather floor and the sound rooftop. Also, outside was cool river exhibit and a treehouse.
We had fun. We got snacks on the way at an HEB Plus, just to check it out being grocer-heads. Cisco helped me learn how to use the Tom-Tom and we finished listening to the second Lemony Snickets book. Then we listened to some Django Rheinhardt and talked about our geography studies of France. Pretty good day!

Hey Tiff,
We are leading parallel lives. We went to a Da Vinci exhibit at Fort Discovery in Augusta, GA. It also had a two story bike that we rode (right over the river).....weird. :-)
that's pretty funny...we lived in Greenville, SC about 10 years and have some dear friends in that area
