Great Website

I was trying to think of something to add to my blog today. Frankly, sometimes my day is just as normal as it was the day before, even if I do manage to get in a great run.

So today I don't have any great words of wisdom, and I haven't run across any deep quotes to think on....

But! I did find a cool website called, "Ology" today. It's sponsored by the American Museum of Natural History and it's very good! We explored the Archeology - Tools of the Trade area and it was like a game. I learned about a new instrument archeologists use called a "total station" that helps them plot out their site. It's way more advanced than the old way I learned, which involved a lot of graph paper, pencils and erasers. Anyways, there's more to this website than just the Archeology area. I recommend you take your kids there and explore it. Or let them explore it on their own. They're sure to learn something new.

So here's the website address: http://www.amnh.org/ology/archaeology#channel

Have fun!
