Museum of Osteology
America's only Skeleton Museum
Over 300 Skeletons with many hands-on exhibits.
Very Unique. Focuses on the form and function of the skeletal system.
Some things I thought were interesting: they had a human dwarf skeleton whose shoulders, hips, and knees had fused together naturally in her life, the hunchback skeleton made me think more about my posture which is pretty terrible, holes in the skull for surgical reasons have been found in skeletons as early as 6500BC...I think I am remembering that right... it is one of the earliest medical procedures done and healing in the skull indicates healing and that the patients lived - fascinating! The snake (particularly the anaconda and the king Viper) skeletons blew me away, so huge and intricate. Harlow liked them all and kept shouting at me "Oh My Hugeness, Mom come see this!" Maybe the Monkeys were his favorite. I enjoyed teaching him about our skeletons and how they make it possible for us to move around, stand up, live. The museum is self guided, reading the information yourself is obviously tough for little ones but I really enjoyed it and then I was able to share what I was learning with Harlow.
Pool
Kelton fell asleep on the way back to the hotel but woke up right as we pulled up. We ate a little Burger King and then hit the pool to wiggle and tucker these kids out so they'd both take naps for me at the same time... it worked :)
We enjoyed the pool. They love water.
