Friday we went to Discovery Place and everyone had a ball. (Stephen and my dad were by far the biggest kids in the children's science museum.)

| Lily Kate playing in the huge water table, they had aprons and she stayed dry under the apron, but the rest of her was drenched! |
 |
| Drying off her pants in front of the huge fan |
 |
| We couldn't find Stephen and my dad...Oh here they are! |
 |
| We all had to try this out...laying on a bed of nails! |
This brought back a fond memory from our Campbell days. Stephen walked in late to Physics class one day just as the professor was asking for a volunteer, so he raised his hand. He had just volunteered to lay on a bed of nails and have a cinder block smashed on his stomach with a sledge hammer!
We stayed until Discovery Place closed and then walked a few blocks for a scrumptious dinner at Mert's Heart and Soul Restaurant. If you live in Charlotte and haven't eaten at Merts- YOU HAVE TO! The southern cooking is the real deal. We all loved our food (corn bread, barbeque, fried chicken, mac and cheese, shrimp creole, and the desserts...don't get me started on them!- we ordered chocolate cake, banana pudding and peach cobbler). We needed to walk home from uptown after that delicious meal. (Our trip to San Francisco may have turned me into a bit of a foodie)
