Field Trip: Doseum and Headed Home

    Last full day in San Antonio: lunch at Green. Here's my last little tribute to them.

     I found a new museum by searching for things to do. It's the Doseum located at 2800 Broadway in San Antonio. It's 5.5 acres of pure fun. There was, indeed, LEARNing, EXPLOREing, and CREATEing taking place.

Sis took a special computer/coding class.

     This was one of our favorite exhibits. You color a house, building, or form of transportation and then scan it. It shows up on the huge, active screen.

     It was fun to spot your art as it moved around.

      Tornado was in his element creating a comic.

     Tornado loved the exhibit with recycled objects. I think he would love for his bedroom walls to look like this.


More scenes from Doseum:
 
      I really think this was the BEST children's museum we have ever visited. There is indoor and outdoor space. We will definitely go again.

 
      We met Wimpy and Liz at La Fiesta Patio Cafe in Universal City. This is one of our traditions - they have taken us there since I was young. It is a healthier version (with vegan/vegetarian options) of authentic Mexican food. We had to say goodbye to them here after we ate. That's always a sad thing to do!

 
      I really love these two so much.

      Our one fun thing we definitely do on our drive from Texas to Florida - if the timing is right - is stop at the restaurant Seed. We always pose with this cow and sign, too. We have roamed around New Orleans on other trips, but it was too late to do anything during this drive.

     Aaaaand, our favorite thing about Seed are the vegan beignets. It's something we have never been able to get anywhere else. The kids always comment that beignets remind them of The Princess and the Frog.
