2023 August 3, Alabama Music Hall of Fame & Railroad Museum TUSCUMBIA, AL

Our first stop was the dentist. I had two teeth pulled Friday and the dentist wanted to see how they were healing. 

We rode to Tuscumbia to tour the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. Our granddaughter now loves to go to museums and I thought she would enjoy this one. 

We stopped outside the museum for a couple of pictures.

Ava at the Fountain 
Bought our tickets and the lady at the ticket counter gave Ava a Scavenger Hunt sheet.
The sheet had a list of 10 different animals to be found throughout the museum. 
She told Ava once she completed the task she would get a prize.
(Dog, fish, snake, peacock, monkey, opossum, horse, rooster, fish,? )


The ticket lady took our picture before we entered the Museum Display.

As we walked through the museum we looked at the animals and well as looking at the displays.
She liked the display of Nat King Cole the Alabama Bus, and many others.
We got down to number ten the monkey on the list and walked back through the museum looking for a monkey.
We got a hint it was on a hat of Clint Eastwood and near the end of the displays.
She found it and headed to the gift shop for her surprise.
She picked a whistle and a star keychain.

Ava and I were at the Entrance Door as we were leaving. 

Next, we rode to the Tuscumbia train Depot but it was closed. 
We did see the trains on the back side.

We rode to Florence and ate lunch at Chick-fil-A.

Ava ordered a kid's meal with chicken nuggets, waffle fries, and Chocolate milk. She also ordered ice cream but didn't eat it. I finished it off.

Once she finished eating she wanted to go play so I said go on.
