My Past Week and Weekend

   Well, this week has been a quiet one. Aside from shoveling a foot of snow off of our huge driveway and a cold virus that is going around our family, nothing has happened. My weekend was much the same.
   Last Thursday, my family and I went to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to scope out the sights. My dad is getting interviewed for a job there, so the company paid for our hotel. They booked us at Four Points by Sheraton. We would have been happy with a Best Western, but we had to have a fancy hotel. We spent a lot of time lounging around in the room.
   On our trip back, we stopped at Discovery World, a museum right on the banks of Lake Michigan. We saw the aquarium on the lower level. It was pretty cool. I even got to control a mini sub in one of the tanks. I had some fun there. There were total levels dedicated to water and water travel. They had an exhibit on simple machines and a whole level devoted to mini machines. I got to control a robot velociraptor. The pneumatic pumps were pretty worn though, and it took a long time to move. My dad got to go in a flight simulator and fly a plane. There was even a nuclear reactor exhibit where you got to act like you were controlling a real reactor. Then we went home.
   Ah well, time flies. I have to wrap this up. Please comment and feel free to come back to this blog often.
