The Noog, Day 2

On Sunday we rode the amazing electric shuttle over to the Discovery Museum. The kids enjoyed it on their last visit and we thought it would still be fun for them, while being super fun for Noah. Unfortunately we didn't have time to really take in all of the exhibits but we did get to mess around with the musical instrument display and the permanent structures on the roof. All of the boys really enjoyed it.


We said our goodbyes around noon and headed toward home. Warren couldn't resist stopping for a little hike. Through the magic of Google Maps we came across the Gizzard Trail, which was breathtaking. The monkeys loved having two hours to run, climb, and generally get their ya-ya's out. We seriously had to drag them out of there. I explained that we had no water, no snacks, no nothing and a 4 hour drive ahead of us, but they did not care. They wanted to hike forever.

The only thing that convinced them to leave was a little lost beagle. I really don't think he was lost because he didn't appear hungry or unhappy in anyway. The boys, however, felt that he needed to come live with us in Memphis. The Beagle took to them right away and appeared as though he was going to indeed come home with us. Thankfully he ran off just as we got to the car and we convinced the very sad monkeys that he was going to be okay.
