National Museum of Scotland

After visiting Greyfriars Kirkyard, we headed back to our flat. Claire had been screaming in the kirkyard. Basically, she was mad because I wouldn't let her push the empty stroller up and down hills, into people (and grave stones!), and over burial sites. The kirkyard seemed peaceful and there were a few people walking around, so we didn't think we should linger. Once we put Claire and Dani back in the stroller and left she seemed to calm down a bit. 

On our way back, we found the National Museum of Scotland and decided to stop in. They were closing in 30 minutes, so we didn't get to explore very long. But, they do have a lot of really cool things there! They have a rocket that goes from the ground floor up to the 5th floor. There's a space suit that you can pretend to wear. They have an exhibit with pedals that you can move with your hands to create energy and light up lights and televisions. And, they have a spinning sheep. Dani thought this was especially fascinating! 

We had fun there, and it was free! So, we'll definitely have to head back and explore it more thoroughly. In the meantime, I sure hope that wasn't the infamous Colin the Sheep that we saw spinning in that museum. I might have seen a hint of blue paint behind his ear, but I can't be 100% sure about that.
