Donald and I took the girls to Cartersville to visit the Tellus Science Museum this week. He recently visited there for a meeting and was impressed, so we planned a day trip and took Abby and Emily on a scientific adventure. After a stop at Krystal for a huge sackful of hamburgers (of which Emily ate precisely none), we headed on to Tellus. They had a great time digging for fossils, panning for gemstones, and checking out the antique car and space suit collection. They both loved panning for stones best but also really enjoyed the planetarium show. Donald and I are so proud - when the Earth appeared on the planetarium's dome, Emily shouted, "Hey! I know what that is. It's the Earth!" My little Bill Nye! On the way home, we stopped off at a gas station for another antique novelty...drinks in glass bottles. Abby's learning to go green and wants to reuse her Dr. Pepper bottle for drinking water. Hooray for little girls with an environmental conscience! Both of them sacked out in the backseat on the way home after an exhausting day of scientific discovery. If you have a free day, head to Cartersville. Tellus is definitely worth it!
