Mommy & Rachel Adventure Day - Take 3

Rachel and I have been going on various outings lately.  Today - the Indiana State Museum.

We went through an exhibit from the Library of Congress of Lincoln letters and memorabilia. Got to see Abraham Lincoln's handwritten drafts of the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address. I found it very interesting. Rachel tolerated it.

Here we are at the giant pendulum. It swings back an forth and knocks over the blocks in the circle. Neat thing is, the pendulum doesn't actually move in a circle, but the blocks, entire building, and the earth as a whole are rotating in a circle around the pendulum. Makes my brain hurt. :)

After we made our way through the museum we walked down the canal a bit. It was a gorgeous day and a lot of people were out enjoying the sun.
