I'd never seen that before at a museum -- but in this case, it probably was a good idea. ;) I thought it was a great exhibit. The body casts are at the very end -- very moving to see, but I'm not sure how that would go over with a child. We went to the Indigo store down the street afterwards. :) loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-2486333535091147102015-08-25T20:44:33.397-04:002015-08-25T20:44:33.397-04:00Hurray for getting out of jury duty!

I want to check out the extent of the not-G-rated elements before bringing E. along.<br /><br />Did you hit up BMV? I love that place. We lived in the Annex our first year and I had to limit myself to buying one book a month because it got a bit out of control...Turiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11694077473805539161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-25477975584681932442015-08-25T14:19:44.841-04:002015-08-25T14:19:44.841-04:00Hooray!!

Sounds like a lovely lovely day, and definitely better than sitting around waiting at jury duty.<br /><br />Pompeii has also fascinated me - I studied Latin at high school, and Pompeii was often referenced, we learnt about it, looked at pictures etc. A highlight of my first trip to Rome was a day trip to Pompeii. Absolutely amazing. Now you can plan for a trip there too! ;-)<br />Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-76806460378509978332015-08-24T22:54:39.869-04:002015-08-24T22:54:39.869-04:00I definitely think that your royally good day was ...I definitely think that your royally good day was preferable to jury duty!
