Spring Break arrived, and we were excited for nine days to hang out together and do some fun things. Our first stop? Greensboro!
Mandy had the great idea to take the kids to the Greensboro Science Center. How perfect that she suggested going the day before our trip to Hickory. We moved up our trip by a day and went en route to visit the grandparents.
This place was AMAZING! It's an aquarium, zoo, and science center all rolled into one. Andrea and Evie came, Mandy and Emma came, and we had such a good time exploring together.
This was a surprise...
They had peacocks just roaming free in the zoo area. Collins was very impressed to see one up close because she had dressed up as a peacock for Halloween this year, but think she was a little unnerved at the same time!
What a neat habitat they had complete with a slide in the air. We were really hoping they would go down it, but no luck.
We saw lemurs...
and pythons...👀
komodo dragons (so creepy!)...
and dinosaurs!
We got to watch them feed the sharks in the big tank...
and pop up for a closer look at lion fish...
and we even saw an African penguin named Donna. The kids thought that was so funny. :)
On our way out, guess who slithered out from behind the rocks in the big tank? The creepiest animal of the day- the moray eel! It was so gross, but cool at the same time.
I couldn't believe all the unusual animals we saw in 2 1/2 hours. This science center is a must-see, and I was so glad we experienced it with our friends. We said our goodbyes then hopped in the car for the last leg of our trip to Hickory. Time for Spring Break spot #2!
