Terracotta In Seattle

It's A LOT of work, but I really do like homeschooling my girls.  When the twins were in younger, one of the things we studied was the Terracotta Army.  I realized that deep down inside I am a History nerd.  It was so fascinating.  But since the Terracotta Army is located in China, a book and some documentaries had to suffice. 

But this year, the Terracotta Army came to Seattle.  Since my love knew how much it interested me, he said we should make a special outing of it and go see it.  Life being crazy full like it is for us, we went on the LAST day possible before the exhibit left Seattle.  It was a really nice outing for our family. 

I was really hoping you could buy shoes like this in the gift shop . . . alas, you couldn't.  We had to settle for a magnet.

I didn't take nearly enough pictures.  But one of the fun parts was a room you could walk into that was staged to look like the soldiers did in the pits. 

Interesting facts for the History Nerds

After the army, we explored the rest of the Science Center.
