ay - 1733 miles either direction. We have passed by that museum but never felt we had time to stop. This time we were determined! It looks big, but is even bigger on the inside.

Once again-what they said!! Alexis wants to know is the Aquarium picture is the new ride at Lagoon. And Megan said "I never saw that at the Zoo before."
Hope when you get back into town you will keep in touch. It would be great to see you so stop by Granger sometime and I'm sure I can put you to work....oh yeah you are retired.
Thanks for the trip, it maybe the closest I ever come to seeing it.
