Since my parents were coming to Wisconsin this summer for a visit, we decided to take a trip to North Carolina to see Matt and Sarah this weekend, since we wouldn't see them again until Thanksgiving. We hadn't seen just them in a few visits, so it was fun to find good restaurants and play with the kids together. We especially enjoyed seeing the Discovery Museum downtown, exploring all the exhibits and fun optical shows. They had a large set of bells you could play, and some infinity mirrors, as well as a few mechanical demonstrations of lift and force. We enjoyed seeing the aquarium section, and Matt and I played computerized soccer on the Virtual Reality screen for a while, until they pelted us with soccer balls, and Will joined in on the volleyball game. After a quick trip through the Grossatorium, we spent time in the kids hall playing with blocks and watching Sam go down slides. We had some ice cream for a desert, and look forward to seeing them again soon, it seems less stressful when there aren't so many people around or an organized holiday celebration.
