Wonderful Wednesday!!

Today we visited two museums the first being The Wild Center. The Wild Center had a great exhibit on fungus :-P as well as one with live otters. The otters were very entertaining to watch, also we went on a walk around the center. Another exhibit that I enjoyed was the one about wild flowers there was a huge 3D diagram of a pitcher plant which earlier in the week we saw at Ferd's bog. Overall it was a great museum to learn about our world and many species that live here.
The Second museum we visited today was the Adirondack Museum. The museum had so many buildings to visit and interesting exhibits on the history of the ADK. My favorite exhibit was Woods & Waters, where they had an exhibit about a hermit that used to live in a 'shack' for four seasons out of the year. We also went a a very short boat ride around the pond and visited the train exhibit were they had an old train cart which was quite extravagant. Overall I enjoyed going to both museums and learned a lot about the wilderness and history of the Adirondacks.
After visiting the museums us ladies did a little late shopping in the gift shop and then proceeded to Inlet and then to Raquette Lake to do more shopping!! :)
