Amazing Space

Used up my last few vacation days to go visit family this past weekend. Joy.

Nothing quite like burning up your vacation to take the kids to see the grandparents. The kids win. The grandparents win. And you... get not one, but two, fun filled 8-hour road trips chock full of bad weather, bad drivers, bad traffic, bad radio stations, and tolls tolls tolls! Woohoo! Wake me when the fun begins!

Monday we tripped down into Lynchburg, VA, to Amazement Square, an interactive kids museum. Live video interaction, a glass-walled painting booth, music studio, science exhibits, and tubes and slides abound within this converted, four floor warehouse. The Square as a whole remains a work in progress, and plans exist to expand it beyond the limits of a single building to include part of the waterfront along the James River; including a skate park which is currently under construction.

Other than a minor meltdown in the gift shop by the youngest, the experience was pretty cool. :)
