Trip to the Dead Sea Scrolls

Before all of our wonderful celebrations, we brought Papa and Grandma along on a field trip, to the Dead Sea Scrolls. You are not allowed to take pictures in the exhibit, but we have a few from the rest of the Museum.

This photo is from outside the Museum. It was made for the "Bug fest" this weekend and was still there. They made it completely from sand. Amazing!

We got a discount for our subscription to the News and Observer, which sponsors the Museum.

Arriving early, we quickly got our audio tours and were one of the first groups in. We spent a lot of time there and we learned a lot.

After eating lunch, we proceeded to explore the rest of the Museum. Some of the highlights included an action style film on the life of a dung beetle, and the walk-in butterfly area.

Finnaly, we made it back home to celabrate Dan's birthday.
