Day 4
June 10, 2019
We watched out the window last night as dozens classic
and hot rod vehicles pulled into the hotel parking lot. This morning we walked around admiring the
shiny cars and trucks. Breakfast at the
hotel and then off we headed to the Danville Science Center. A large 3 story old building in the old part
of town with everything hands on from how gears work to electricity. Todd got in a “hurricane simulator” which
went to 78 MPH wind; a category 1 hurricane.
He said it was hard to breath and felt like little stones hitting his
face. We went in the butterfly building.
We walked over to the train station and climbed in a caboose. The train station is still being used twice a
day as Amtrak passes once north and once south.
Then we watched a movie in a huge dome of many of the National Parks –
and it was awesome knowing we had been to most of them. A little picnic lunch on the tailgate of the
truck of crackers and slim Jim and then we walked over the bridge of the River
Walk. The whole trail is 9 miles long,
so we opted for just a short distance crossing the river. We noticed that locks – lots of locks – were
hanging on the wire on the bridge. After
looking at several closely it was a way the kids were “tagging” the
bridge. The locks had names on them or
important dates and/or events. A nice
idea. Back to the room for showers and then dinner. No rain, thank God for his blessings. We had
two or three calls from Zoey and even this morning I “dropped in” to her Alexa
(my Kindle is also an Alexa). She said
it freaked her out a little. Dinner at
Golden Corral and over did it again. The
food is so good. Now to watch TV, read
and go to sleep.
