John James Audubon








Yesterday we had a great opportunity to go to one of our local history museums and look at an exhibit of John James Audubon paintings and writings. I thought the girls would enjoy it given there fondness for birds.

Majority of the exhibit was engraved prints of original drawings. The kids loved running around and identify certain birds. And trying to find their favorites.

The museum also has a lot of Florida history exhibits and the kids favorite "Grandma's Attic." In Grandma's attic there is an old record player and a rotary dial phone. Also, there was a big poster from the original Star Wars movie.

We spent about an hour walking around looking and reading. Then, as a surprise, we went to Pizza Hut and picked up some personal pan pizzas and had a picnic in the park.

Just wanted to take the day and appreciate some of the historical/educational stuff we have right at our finger tips. . .
