4.  Visit the 21C Museum-  My kids liked the movie screen of letters that fell down like rain.  It's free to get in but beware there were nude art work when we went.

Best Sweet Potato ever!

I knew it!!! The color of the skin was different. Prettier. Purplish. Also I have bought from this farmer before and his produce is always good. In fact a few years ago I bought from him the best
Broccoli I have ever eaten entire life. This yam was 2 times better then what I have been buying at the store. Incredible!
