Museum Pass

In some large cities (London, Paris) they have a "city pass" where you can go to a large number of museums and pay one entry price. It is a really cool idea! For the last two days, this would have come in handy in the Texas area.

Yesterday, we visited the Kimbell (and it took me forever to learn/figure out how this was spelled, since I only heard it spoken). We also visited the Modern Art Museum, and the Science and History (aka Children's Museum) of Fort Worth.

Today - after some tractor driving and chain saw action on the farm - we visited the Dr Pepper museum and the Mammoth museum, capped off by dinner at Chuy's where we met a dear friend of mine!

At the Dr Pepper museum, I was reminded of calling my grandparents "Grandma and Grandpa Pepper" while growing up. Why? I think they had a dog named pepper at one time, and the nickname stuck. I actually don't even know if all the cousins knew them by this name, or if it was just us.

Tomorrow, we have a drive ahead of us as we head to Wichita. Hopefully, Kiddo naps in the car and does OK. Wish us well!

Love: Museum hopping
Hope: Kiddo does well in the car tomorrow
Do: Need to get a bag packed!
