On Wednesday, Matt and I decided to get out of Clover and head to the city! We started our trip to the Discovery Place in uptown Charlotte. Now I normally associate the Discovery Place with school field trips, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and warm milk. But not this time. Matt and I went to see "Body Worlds-The Anatomical Exhibition of Real Human Bodies". Yes, I said real. If you guys have not heard of this, go to www.discoveryplace.org to check it out. It was simply amazing! I'm talking we saw embryos in test tubes through the first eight weeks of pregnancy (on the eighth week, the "embryo" had visible hands and fingers!), a REAL smoker's lung, blood vessels, and on and on and on. To my disappointment, but not to my surprise, I wasn't allowed to use photography within the exhibit, so you'll just have to go see it yourself!!
After spending a large portion of our day staring intently at human cadavers, we went across the street to Stool Pigeons. If you are ever in Charlotte for any reason, hit up Stool Pigeons. We had the best time there!!!

i've heard from a lot of people that the exhibit at discovery place is awesome! maybe it will travel up to tennessee sometime and we can see it.
I also head about that! I was wondering how it would make you feel . . . though the people that saw it said it was amazing!
