Melbourne Museum

Waiting for the tram to the museum. You can see down town (CBD) in the background.

Today we went to the Melbourne Museum. I would say it is very similar to the Nature and Science Museum of Denver. The boys were both free(5 and under is free) and Luke and I were each 8, so not a bad deal. I'm sure I'll be back with the boys soon.

They had dinosaurs, a room with a whole bunch of animals and interactive screens that told you what they were and a large children's area. Another bonus was that our tickets are good for 4 days, so we could go back this weekend. There is a lot more that we could have explored, but we had to leave for lunch.

We found a nice hamburger place for lunch. And then wandered through some shops on our way to the tram. We stopped in a great spice store. Tons of spices, a lot of asian ones that I had never heard of and then all the standards. We didn't bring any spices with us, so we are anxious to restock. We also stopped into an Italian butcher shop to pick up some meat for Oscar's party on Sunday. They had a really cool butcher block that had at least two guys at it while we were there, cutting away.

All in all a pretty good day.
