So one Saturday morning many weeks ago, Fletcher says "Mommy, I've never been to a museum." True, the teacher in me cringes, how have I forgotten to do this?
My reply: "What kind of museum do you want to go to?"
Fletcher: "a dinosaur museum!"
I knew there was something at the College of Charleston and thanks to Google, we found out it was open. So off we go!
We started with a search of the building. Fletcher wanted to find the paleontologists (really Dr. Scott from the show Dinosaur Train), but it was a Saturday and no one was in the offices. We did find this astronaut suit though. Fits perfectly!
Fletcher could not believe this display of PEZ dispensers. The museum is in the Hall of Science at the College of Charleston. Scientists are odd birds.
This is a saber tooth tiger, but I couldn't get the head in the picture. Fletcher is showing his surprised face at how big it is.
This was his favorite display, a megalodon jaw. He made me read everyone of the information plaques to him. This one said the actual shark was 40-50 feet long or about 3 school buses.
This is actually the first picture I took. He was so excited to see the displays and the museum is set up for kids. I hope his curiosity never wanes.
