The New Perot History and Science Museum

The family went to the new Perot History and Nature Museum this past weekend. It was opening day so there was lots of fanfare as well as media to show said fanfare. The CBS affiliate had a guy out there who saw us and wanted to ask us a few questions. They asked me about the new museum being downtown and I gave a perfectly executed response about How great it was that "Winspear Opera house, the Nasher Sculpture gardens, and now Kessler Park were all within walking distance to the New History and Science Museum". "It's great for Dallas." I said. "Nailed it" I thought. They'll for sure use that.

Then Turner said he'd like to be interviewed. "So.." said the reporter. "What do you want to see at the museum?"

Turner said something about "gravity" and then we all laughed at how cute it was that a 7 year old was talking about gravity.

I recorded the news that night to see how good I looked on television.

Turner as Tin Tin

We love books. Turner likes books about adventure. Daddy likes books with pictures. Which is why we both like The Adventures of Tin Tin. The Secret of the Unicorn. Turner's school had a Story Book Character Parade where you got to dress up as a book character that you like. Turner was a dead ringer for Tin Tin. In fact, he won a Golden Ticket so he could get $5 off a book at the book fair! Hurrah! More Tin Tin books!
