This past Wednesday we took a trip to Charlotte to visit the Discovery Place. It is an awesome place filled with so many different things. My kid’s favorite part of the entire trip was the Norman Rockwell exhibit. They loved (get this!) the old timey telephones! Rotary dial, no doubt!!! There were phones scattered throughout the exhibit and you could call from one place to another. There were also period costumes, artwork, rooms set up in the era. Very, very cool! With all the hands on things to do at the Discovery Place I was so surprised the kids liked the Norman Rockwell exhibit as much as they did. We also got to hold a madagascar hissing cockroach (nope, not me!), a millipede, and look at a tarantula close up…all which were part of the Rain Forest exhibit.
It was very difficult to take photos because the lightening continually changed but I got a few. Here’s a few from our trip…
Baby girl with one of Norman’s "real life" paintings…
Two of mine and a friend in the Ford from the Rockwell era….
My middle son and daughter in the AIR CHAIR…
And baby girl again checking out this guy’s hiney….(must be the age!)
If you live anywhere close I highly recommend the trip!!!

What a wonderful time you had. I have been meaning to get to that musuem for awhile. We went there about 7 years ago and I really should go back.
Blessings,
