History

I was so tired after my adventure yesterday that I forgot to blog! Oops!!

We had a great day yesterday! Grandmom, Aunt Mere, Colin, and Brenna picked us up and we were off on an adventure! Our first stop was McDonald's for breakfast. Despite the fact that I had already eaten, I thought I needed to help Mom with her pancakes. They were good!

After breakfast, we were off to Columbia! When the car stopped, we were near EdVenture, but Mom said we weren't going there. We went to another museum instead. It was called the "State Museum". The first thing I saw when I got inside was about my Gamecocks!! This place was okay by me!!

We went up in an elevator to the top of the museum. That part was all about the history of South Carolina. I learned all about how South Carolina was important in the Revolutionary War and all about how our flag got to be so pretty. :)

I learned about how Sergeant Jasper saved the flag after it fell at Fort Moultrie. I'm glad he did. I like our flag. I even dressed like it for our trip!

I learned more stuff about South Carolina in the Civil War (that didn't work out so well for SC) and afterward. Then we went down the elevator to the next floor.

That floor was about science and technology and inventions and things. I got to sit on a train called the Best Friend of Charleston. Mom told me that it wasn't the real one. The Best Friend was the first train in South Carolina, but it exploded! Yikes! This one is just pretend.

I liked playing with the science-y experiment things. I loved the multi-colored shadows.

I pushed buttons and played with a ball in the air and went in this little room that was full of mirrors and lots and lots of Annas!!

On the next floor, I learned about what South Carolina was like a long, long time ago. There were giant animals and the land was different. I also learned about the kinds of animals you can see in different parts of South Carolina now.

We finally made it back to the bottom of the museum and went into the museum store. I completely passed out while we were shopping.

When I woke up, we were at Rush's! I had my lunch and then I helped Mom with her chili cheeseburger and fries. Then we shared a hot fudge cake. :)

Yummy!!!

After lunch, we went to the Gamecock store (!!!) and did a little shopping. I'm pretty excited about my new t-shirt and dress! After shopping, we came home. I took a pretty good nap. Then I played and had dinner and went to bed.

It was a great day!!
