We began Sat with a trip to the Frazier International History Museum in Louisville. We had purchased a Groupon discount and thought we'd begin putting it to good use by investigating the pirate display that's currently at the museum. We rushed and rushed to get there by 12 p.m. in order to see "Treasure Island", their fight on the rooftop, only to discover they canceled it due to weather....why? It wasn't overly hot, it wasn't raining, and there weren't any gusty winds? I was very bummed!
The girls had fun exploring the fake pirate ships, though, and dressing up as princesses. (Why weren't there pirate costumes?) They learned what ships looked like, along with different types of treasure that was found from sunken ships. Hubby really enjoyed all of the weaponry on display, and we would have stayed longer, but our parking limit was up and we were all getting really hungry! So, we left the museum and drove around a..um...sketchy part of town (the abundant signs for "DNA Testing" kind of gave that away) until we got on the interstate.
Next, we drove to Frankfort for an early dinner and stopped by Salato Wildlife Management, one of our favorite places to visit. It's completely free, but they're only open until 5 p.m., and we arrived at 4:45. However, they still had all of the snakes and salamanders on display, so the girls had a field day petting them! Ick! Mommy watched from a distance and sanatized their hands when they finished! They determined snakes are soft and slimy, they learned you need to de-scent your hands before touching another snake so you aren't mistaken for a snake and bitten, and they learned you need to have wet hands in order to touch salamanders. So, although we didn't have much time there, is was still a fun and educational trip!

I know the feeling about Frazier...we did the same thing last week. Only on the day we were there it was very hot, so i can understand why they canceled.
