The family enjoyed our afternoon at the museum. The admission cost was $10 per adult, $9 per Senor. Parking was free.

Fossils are currently being studied at this excavation site. The oldest of the fossils are thought to be from about 65,000 years ago. It's pretty cool how the site shows different layers that have been dug through. This dig site is known to be the lowest point so far, for the excavation of these mammoths. There were other types of animal fossils as well. More details are yet to be studied. It's recommended to return in about 15 years - hah! Loved that our tour ranger Bryce threw in some comedy throughout his presentation. An excellent place to spend a hour and a half or so, and great for kids! There's a nature pathway, kids digging area, learning booths, and gift shop. Entrance fees are minimal and worth the knowledge you'll learn. Please check their website.

After walking around for about half an hour, I was informed about a tour starting at 10 a.m. Of course I couldn't pass that up. Rachel, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Her passion for the library and the Brownings showed through the information she gave. Lots of positive energy! In addition to the collection and ambiance/architecture of the library, the grounds are worth checking out. I will have to come visit again in order to really soak in all that the place has to offer. Please don't wait as long as I have to visit.

It's not Shakespeare; it's Elizabeth Barrett Browning. This library/museum includes a wide array of artwork, personal effects, and manuscripts by Robert Browning and his wife Elizabeth. If you're a scholar of Victorian poetry, researching here would be a dream come true. Even if you're not a fan of Victorian poetry, the Armstrong Browning Library is worth a visit. The beautiful building, which frequently hosts weddings and special events, contains the largest collection of secular stained glass in the world. You might also enjoy the unique and fascinating architectural details throughout the interior of the building. If pottery or porcelain is your thing, check out the Wedgwood and pottery collections, too. Upstairs, the curators have recreated the Browning's home, complete with their authentic furniture and decor. If you ever wondered about life in the mid-1800s, this could give you a pretty accurate picture of it. Admission is free, so check this place out next time you're in the heart of Texas!

Waco is also known for the Waco Suspension Bridge, zoo and parks. However, most notably Waco amassed large media presence from the David Koresh standoff. David Koresh was the cult leader of the Branch Davidians, a religious sect based at the Mount Carmel Center near Waco, Texas. The group believed in apocalyptic prophecies and Koresh claimed to be the messiah. Allegations of child abuse and illegal weapons stockpiling drew federal attention. For 51 days, there was a standoff between the Branch Davidians and the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tabacco and Firearms (ATF) and later including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI deployed tear gas, and, in the process, a fire started that took the lives of adults and children. Looking at this very pristine city now, you could not imagine such an horrific event happening.
