Houston Museums

Sunday is family day. We try to do something together as a family. Usually, we just go to the park and play catch. Yesterday, we went Museum hopping.


Our first stop with the Houston Museum of Natural Science. We have a family membership and go quite often. Dorothy participated in the museum's bookclub this past year and was invited to a special event to celebrate the end of the bookclub year. We watched a special live animal show and Dorothy decorated (and ate) a cookie. We also saw Leonardo, a complete mummified 77 million-year-old adult duckbilled dinosaur. It was very cool. We were able to actually touch a sample of his skin!

Our second stop was the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. This musuem was not on our agenda. We took a different route than normal to the HMNS and as we passed the HMFA, we noticed that it was TARGET FREE SUNDAY. I guess Target sponsors museum entry the first Sunday of the month at MFAH. Very cool of Target. There were lots of children's crafts. Dorothy and I decorated picture frames.

We ended the day with dinner at Buca di Beppo. It was a good day.
