Friday morning we woke to Grammy sick in bed. She remained there for 24 hours. Granddaddy took us to the Frontier Cultural Museum in Staunton. http://www.frontiermuseum.org/
I quite enjoyed myself. This would not have been fun on a hot summer day but we had a perfectly wonderful day, alternating cloud coverage and bright sun. It was a rough start with Eva whining about everything - wrong shoes, tired, wanting to be carried and so on but eventually, the farmyard experiences coupled with petting the Polish hens and mooing with the cows got her over her funk. My favorite part of the excursion was our detour from the Scotch/Irish Farm along a path to the forge. We stopped at the bridge and had a snack amongst the greenery of the forest. After our trip back to the 1730's we went home for a rest. Later, Granddaddy took us to the pet store. Eva spent the majority of her time gazing at the miniature hamsters and their babies. Eli liked the puppies and the cockatoo. The highlight of the trip was when the cockatoo nipped the female owner of the store and got a spanking.
