We also visited the National Canal Museum


Doesn't sound very exciting, does it? Well, we were all surprised and had a great time. We learned what canals were used for and how they worked. We navigated our own boat up and down the canal. We used the locks to raise and lower our boats as needed. Kim had as much fun as Madison did.




We learned about trains, steamboats, canal boats, horses, and canal bridges (Kim didn't know such things existed). We all learned something this weekend.







Madison learned how a pulley system worked and why steamboat captains named their boats. Madison and Logan each put their name on the big boat in the middle of the museum.
