It's Amazing!

Day 3: Amazement Square, Lynchburg. Why can't every town have something like this? It's the nation's tallest indoor climbing tower set into an old warehouse on the riverfront in Lynchburg. Every level has something for kids of all ages to explore. It's by far the coolest kids museum I've ever been to. Sawyer loved the roller coaster demonstration where he sent golf balls flying over a 30-foot section of the room. Justin was fascinated by the water table with its demonstration of how locks work along the James River. Arden was into the building room with giant blocks and a playhouse. There were also rooms where you could paint on glass walls, jam with a band, experience what it like being inside a heart, put on a puppet show, experiment with light, or learn about virginia history and archeology. There was even a zip line inside and the best skatepark ever outside. I was personally taken with Lynchburg and dragged the rest of the family around while I photographed the old churches built into the hillside.

Doods, this looks like the best trip ever and you're still on it! I wish I was a kid again. Can't wait until K can enjoy this type of stuff.
