A Month of Gratitude, Day 21

Tuesday, December 28, 2010
Today the Smart Man and I are taking his family to the Denver Museum of Nature of Science. I love that museum - for three generations my family has grown up there.

My Hot Mom spent her girlhood there, as entrance was free in those days, and she could walk there. When I was in elementary school, I took school trips there frequently, as well as outings with my parents. My own kids spent many happy hours there as youngsters, since we had a family membership and it was an inexpensive way to spend a Sunday in the years when I had no money.

Today, I'm grateful to have a high quality science institution in my city that makes a considered effort to support STEM among our population, and makes it affordable for families to take advantage of all it has to offer.
