Travels.........

David has been interviewing for Med schools and the interviews seem to be happening on Tuesdays. He doesn't want to miss work so he works from 3:00 am to 10:00 then we all hop in the car and drive for 3 hours to his interview while he sleeps in the car and then he interviews while we play.
well we headed up to Charlotte and right next door to his appointed interview was a children's museum and it was awesome. Eliza and Fenton loved it. They both played in the water for a long time then just loved that there was a whole area dedicated to little people. It was so fun to have them play while I relaxed and watched them.
The next Tuesday we ran up to Augusta and on the way David dropped us off at the Columbia zoo. it was so fun. Not very many people and not too hot. Surprisingly, Eliza loved the reptile and aquarium. We looked at the monkeys, lions, birds, hyenas, penguins, and bears and had a Slurpee afterward. Fenton was thoroughly entertained by just walking around outside. David called and said that he was going to be an extra hour and it was getting hot so we went in to the air conditioned area with the fishes and Eliza stayed there for 35 minutes. She just sat in front of the huge fish tank that was the size of the whole wall and watched. She would ask "where is Dori" and then say "I'll keep looking" it was such a game for her and she oohed and ahhed when the fish that looked like dori came swimming by.
My favorite part was the Gorilla. it is so great how they show them. there were 3 of them and they have a full wall of windows and the gorillas just sat next to them looking at us. They are such an impressive animal. Eliza was ok with it until one of them grabbed their food and sat right in front of where Eliza was and she was scared. she wanted to go home.
We had some great times on the road these last couple of days.
