Exploring North Carolina with KathieyV

Caleb and I were spending two days together and decided to go on an adventure. Our first stop was the  Lazy 5 Ranch  in Mooresville NC After our visit to the ranch we stayed at a Greensboro Hotel and the next day we headed to  The Greensboro Science Center. Here is a quote from their website " The Greensboro Science Center is an aquarium, museum and zoo -- all in one location, for one price! Located in beautiful Greensboro, North Carolina, it's the perfect way to spend a day with your family and friends." Caleb and I spent most of our time at the Prehistoric Passages/Realm of the Dragons Exhibit. Caleb does have a passion for dinosaurs, so this was the perfect place for him. Here you see Caleb fighting off a T-Rex and I think a Compi. A modern day dinosaur... We loved the MeerKats...Adorable There were many other animals at the outdoor zoo.

I think this handsome creatur...

Caleb spent most of the week with me during his spring break last week.  The big question was what to do to get out of the house each day.   We decided to take local adventures.  We visited three museums in three days one of which was  Kudzu Children's Museum  at University Mall in Chapel Hill.  What a great place! Here is a quote from their website... "At Kidzu —make, build, explore and learn— an adventurous expanded Museum experience for age infant to tween. Kidzu’s new 8,500 square foot space is multi-sensory, play-centered, and focused on providing area children and their families, teachers, and caregivers an ever-changing menu of exhibits and programs that inspire creativity, collaboration and community. Kids Children’s Museum is a hands-on museum dedicated to inspiring young children and the adults in their lives to learn through purposeful play.
