A Trip to the Museum

A couple days before Thanksgiving, we took a family trip to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Specifically, we wanted to see the Lego exhibit. But no trip to the museum is complete without seeing other displays.

The Brick Planet: A Magical Journey Made with Lego Bricks was amazing. Each giant construction included data on the number of hours, and number of bricks, required for assembly.

Next up was the Secret World of Elephants. I annoyed the grandchildren by calling them “oliphaunts” like Samwise Gamgee in the Lord of the Rings. When my husband and I became enthralled with a film depicting women African elephant caretakers, our group headed for different regions inside the museum.

Space or Prehistoric Journey? I opted for the dinosaurs! We met up eventually to go to an early dinner at an Indian restaurant, Spice Room.  The decor included elephants, which we all appreciated more after learning about them at the museum. 

The real joy of this trip was getting family together for a fun day. 

Now it's back to work! Did you catch my character being interviewed by The Wren? Emily Crockett, owner of Rose Creek Reads in my cozy mystery novel The Body in the Hayloft, chats on Substack: ​crockettwhatspineisyours.substack.com/p/off-the-page-with-emily-crockett

Coming soon, and available for pre-order, is a humorous mystery already getting great reviews: Grandpa's New Year's Relocation. The crazy story my daughter and I both believed in is hitting all the right notes with readers!
