The Drum Tower & More, 10/8/13

It’s Judy’s second day out with the 2nd graders on “BISS on the Road”.  They start off with a visit to the “Women and Children’s Museum”.  It’s a very modern, high-tech museum with lots of interactive displays.  Their next stop was the Drum Tower.  It’s one of the first sites Judy and visited back in August.  They watch a drum performance, and enjoy the view.  The final stop of the day is a museum with lots of dinosaur displays.  Although the museum is a little “worse for wear”, the kids have a blast checking out all the dinosaurs.

My day is spent planning for BHSFIC orchestra, and the music classes.  I also emailed back and forth with our moving company about delivery of our July shipment.  The wire transfer cleared and they received their money.  FINALLY!  Now they’re scheduled for delivery tomorrow at 1:00 pm.  There’s no telling how long it will take Judy and I to put it all away.  I think there are 23 boxes?

They also told me the import tax on my golf clubs was $150!!!!  You’re allowed to bring in 10 clubs, but anything over 10 costs $50 each.  I had 13 clubs in the bag.  Ouch!  I have several clubs that cause me more grief than success, and I would have happily left them at home.
