4th of July Weekend

This past 4th of July weekend, I headed down to White River Junction area to visit Paul for the long weekend. Paul had Thursday off, so we headed over to Montshire Museum to check out Sue! Sue is the T-Rex that the museum is displaying all summer along with some extra exhibits about dinosaurs. But before we headed inside the museum, we went out looking for Paul's brother, Noah, who was working at a camp there. Since he works there, we could get in free...with his pass. So our Montshire day began with the search for Noah. We tried using GPS coordinates, but those ultimately didn't seem to help. After looking around one trail, we started on the next. We walked around for about 30 minutes until we took a break by the water that was there.

 Finally, we heard the small children voices and followed to find Noah and the group as they were headed back towards the museum. We grabbed the pass and hiked back, passing through the water portion of the museum outside and cooling off in the mist. Finally inside the magnificent air conditioning, we found Sue!

It was an awesome day! I felt like a kid again getting to play with all the different science games they had. For the rest of the weekend, Paul was cooking at Dana's (the restaurant he works at) in the morning, but in the afternoon we got to go to beaches, eat ice cream and enjoy the weather. Though we didn't get to see any fireworks ourselves, we did watch this awesome video of a drone in the middle of a firework show, check it out!
