3 May 2024 – Trip Day 33
Today we drove north to Roswell, New Mexico to take the kids to the International UFO Museum and Research Center.
The drive went smoothly. We had a nice picnic lunch at the benches outside the museum after our drive.
We had to cut the picnic quickly, as Garrett said that he wanted to use the bathroom. This was a good thing, as he did have to go #2 and it was better on the toilet than in is pull-up.
We started off with the Tomb lid of Palenque. The last time we were there several years ago, they had a three dimensional model of the supposed ship. This time, they had a video presentation on it, which the kids enjoyed watching.
The decoding of the inscription on the tomb lid.
There was a painting of the reconstructed flying machine.
The kids learned about the Magic 12 and the events surrounding the UFO Crash in Roswell.
The kids also learned about various types of encounters and the cultural impact of the crash and the many resultant movies and other phenomenon surrounding UFOs.
