Vacation Day 3 - Natural Bridge and COSI

 The third morning we decided to take the longest hike yet.  It was a mile and a half one way to see Ohio's longest "Natural Bridge".  It was a very nice cool place, under the bridge, once we finally got there.  This bridge was formed by water washing away the stone over time and leaving part of the harder stone. 
 We didn't have a formal plan for the afternoon.  So I plugged Columbus Ohio attractions in the Garmin and found the Center of Science and Industry.  I had no idea what it was, but thought it might be neat.  Turned out it was basically a big childrens museum.  The kiddos really enjoyed the freedom to roam around and play in an area that was designed specifially for their age group. 
 It had an area designed for water exploration.  The kids had a lot of fun getting wet!
 Shelby had so much fun, she gave me a thank-you kiss, actually I got two!
 The kids were starting to get tired, because it was naptime.  We decided to go to some of the areas designed for older kids.  Lance and I really enjoyed the gadget room.  There was an area that talked about gears and pulleys.  They had actually made a pair of chairs with multiple gears.  How would you like this chair in your living room?
 Lance and Jenna had lots of fun pulling their weight on the pulley chairs. 
With two restless kids, all that fun, and a half and hour until closing we decided to head towards our final destination - Dayton.
