Since grandson Reed enjoys video games, Day 2 of the road trip started with a visit to Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum (http://www.marvin3m.com/). Marvin's is an arcade and museum devoted to a large collection of coin-operated animatronic dummies, mechanical games, and other curiosities.
Reed is no stranger to video games, but this is the first time he's been to arcade.
Reed enjoys "The Simpson's" TV show ...
Now Reed gets to play "The Simpson's" video arcade game.
Reed and his uncle testing their skills. I was able to beat Reed on a mechanical pin-ball game.
One of Reed's favorite video games is "The Legend of Zelda", so we had to check out "Zelda The Fortune Teller". Here is Reed's fortune, which is close to describing him. The surprising part of the fortune is the "7 appears on many money transactions", upon leaving Marvin's, Reed found 2 pennies and a nickle in the parking lot, a total of 7 cents. The other surprising part is "Grandmother may have some more to say to you", Reed is spending this summer with his grandmother.
After visiting Marvin's it was time to balance the day with some local flora and fauna.
A visit to some wetlands.
A bump in the duckweed started moving and a snapping turtle appeared.
It was a hot/sunny day and not many animals were out, except for the geese. After visiting several local sites the day ended with a trip to a Thai restaurant.
