Texas State History Museum

Good Monday Morning! I feel so accomplished already this morning. I started Camp Gladiator (it is a boot camp) at 5:30 this morning. Yep, I was up at 5:00. The dogs and Reid were not happy about it but we meet right across the street at the high school so it will be perfect when I find a job. (When is the key word in that sentence.) I also went home this past week while Reid was away for work again. I LOVED being there! I miss everyone so much and I got to spend quite a bit of one on one time with my ADORABLE niece. I am beyond blessed with such an amazing family!!


So enough with the catch up on where I have been recently, the real reason for this post is to tell you about going to the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum. It was okay, I liked the Capitol a lot better but I got a better understanding on Texas for sure. The museum starts when there were nomads that lived here and goes all the way until now. My favorite exhibits were a music exhibit that breaks down the different areas of Texas and explains the music influence it has. For example, Lubbock has more of a rock influence because of Buddy Holly starting his career there and Eastern Texas has more a folk type of influence because it is so close to Arkansas. It was really interesting! Then the last exhibit was cool because it went through all the areas of Texas and what type of agriculture is prominent there and then that lead into the oil exhibit. (Of course I liked that one. ) I wouldn't necessarily take anyone to it unless they really wanted to walk around, it is 3 stories tall but it was neat to check it out for something to do.

I hope everyone is out enjoying this BEAUTIFUL weather!!! Have a great week!

Love!
