Today was the Dino Egg Hunt at the Museum of Life + Science in Durham! On the way in, we were happy to run into Brian’s pal from his Goddard days, Julian. What a nice surprise!

Brian continued to take good notes, and both kids enjoyed doing the scavenger hunt. Everyone likes the Lego Pirate Ship that was on display–it’s out of production, but I might try to track it down (Kendall really likes the mermaid!) We had a passable lunch at the Royal James Cafe...
