I'm just about ready to write my proposal. I have been doing some more online research finalizing the list of places to go. Since my topic is planets, I originally thought a trip to NASA in Houston would be a lot of fun. However, looking at the calendar and trying to squeeze in a trip to Houston does not seem viable, so I'm going to settle for visiting the planetarium in Austin. Lauren went on a field trip to the planetarium in Killeen last month and loved it. Ethan & I have been dying to visit, but when I figured out there was a planetarium in Austin, I decided that would be better since that would be a new experience for Lauren also. I'm really looking forward to that stop!!
The State Capitol seems like a no brainer, so that's a definite stop. I went on a field trip there when I was in elementary school, but haven't been there since, so I know it will be almost like my first trip there, too. This stop should also feed Ethan's hunger to know more about Texas history.
The last stop I've planned in Austin is the Bob Bullock Museum. I have done a small amount of research online, but honestly I have heard so many positive things about the museum that I feel we need to go. I was disappointed to learn that the IMAX theater was not going to be showing the movie about planets and the Hubble, but I'm sure we can find something to watch. The kids have not been to a movie in the IMAX theather, so I'm looking forward to seeing their reaction to that.
