A couple of weeks ago Mason agreed to go with me to the Schiele Museum in Gastonia, to check out the new dinosaur model they have there, the quetzalcoatlus. It took the place of the life size T-rex model that had been in the lobby for years and year. That model will be refurbished and put on display again in a couple of years, showing the new information they have discovered about how they think the T-Rex might actually have lived – more like a bird. How crazy is that. This new model is huge – much bigger than the T-rex, but not as substantial – with bird bones. It was very cool.
They also have a sort of new exhibit at the museum on, of all things, barbecue. I am going back by myself sometime soon so I can spend as much time as I want learning about BBQ in the Carolinas. None of the kids I’ve been with are nearly as excited about it as I am 🙂
