Children's Museum

Whenever I need to stock up on postcards, I go to JR's Outlet in Statesville.  JR's doesn't sell as many postcards as they used to, but right there in the parking lot is the Statesvile Welcome Center so I buy a lot of my postcards from there.  Statesville and Blowing Rock/Boone are pretty much the only places relatively close to where I live that sell postcards.  I don't understand why Hickory doesn't have any.  I can think of a few places they could make postcards out of.... the Science Center, the speedway, the Crawdad's stadium, the airport....  but oh well. 

We took a trip to JR's the other day so I could stock up and decided to visit the mall that is right next to them.  We had never been in there before and wanted to see what kinds of stores they had.  It is pretty small and only has one level.  Toward one end of the building we found a mini Children's Museum.  It looked pretty neat.  At the time though, we didn't money to pay the admission to get in, so we promised Chris and Logan we'd bring them back another day. 

Two days later, on Monday, we decided to go back.  We got there and.....they were closed!  Apparently they are not open on Mondays.  The boys were really bummed out.  So once again, we promised them we'd bring them back when they were OPEN.  I felt so bad. 

So, we went back today and Chris and Logan had a great time.  To be such a small place in the mall, there was quite a bit to do in there. 

Here are some pictures from the trip:
