We took some really great, FREE field trips last week. The first, the Bureau of Engraving-it is one of only two production facilities in the U.S that makeup ALL of the currency flowing through our country. It was a really great tour, about 45 minutes moving throughout the production facility through an elevated see-through walkway. We watched billions of dollars being made, it was amazing! If you decide to go, remember to arrive about 30 minutes in advance to go through security and hop on the shuttle from the visitor center to the actual museum & production facility. It is worth a trip!
We also visited the Oscar E. Monnig meteorite gallery at TCU in Fort Worth. It is a small place but it's packed with displays of meteorites, all from Texas and a really good short film about meteorites. There are also computers setup to give the kids a chance to get interactive with meteorites.
