Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum

Friday was spent at the museum. We joined as members and got a $10 discount + free parking for that day (worth $8)! Additionally, we get unlimited entry for one full year, 4 tickets to the regular shows at the 3-D IMAX theater, 4 tickets to the 4-D theater, and 6 free parking tickets. We also get $1 off each ticket we purchase to either theater. All for a total of $50! (That includes that $10 discount, btw.)

The museum was great. Despite the fact that it is a history museum of a limited geographic area, we really enjoyed it. The kids had a great time as well since the museum has many little theaters to present the history of Texas in addition to the traditional installations.




This month, we missed the 1st Saturday event TEXplorations Family Storytime. We will hope to make it next month. Maybe we can also go to the IMAX theater then. Saturdays may be tough to get in!
Before heading to the museum, we had hoped to check out the dig at Zilker Park. We drove through both parking lots and couldn't find anywhere to park. Too many cars and nobody leaving. The kids were also upset because we were supposed to get cotton candy at the Zilker Food Stand too. We will try again next week or so.

We unfortunately ended the day with me having a headache. I had to plow through the evening study session anyway because I was behind in getting all of my assignments completed in time. Finally turned in around midnight. Will spend a good portion of today getting the rest of my schoolwork for copyediting done for this week.
