Robert heard about the Lego architecture exhibit at the building museum and really wanted to go check it
out. I checked the web site and noticed the exhibit was still on and they recommended arriving early to get
tickets. So we metroed in Sunday morning and got there about 15 minutes after opening. Unfortunately,
there was a sign on the door announcing that they were sold out of tickets for the day. Undaunted we went
in and Robert played with some other kids and the archway blocks while I stood in the slow moving ticket line.
When I asked if we joined the museum if we could get in today, the cashier said sure. So we are the newest
members of the National Building Museum.

The big draw may have been the very cool buildings made entirely of Lego blocks (Falling Water, The
St. Louis Arch, the huge tower in Abu Dubai). Clearly the coolest part was the next room were you
could build your own buildings (or whatever) with a huge collection of Legos. Robert was clearly in
his zone (as were the rest of kids there).

We moved our black, red and blue roofed building next to the orange building that was already on the block.
And Robert built a cool addition next to the steps in the front yard. It was also a lot of fun to see what
others had built.

There were tall building and low building and railroad tracks and trucks and just a tremendous number of
Lego blocks used to build all sorts of things.

We've had lots of fun at the Building Museum in the past and so I'm sure we'll make good use of the new
membership. It's a fun place to visit -- ask Robert about the scavenger hunt sometime.
