Dallas Museum of Science & Nature....maybe

Today, we took advantage of the Bank of America program that provides cardholders a monthly free admission to certain local museums.  After church, we made the haul from Frisco to Dallas Fair Park to check out the Dallas Museum of Science & Nature.  The boys had a ball digging for dinosaur fossils, playing with bubbles, gathering and sorting vegetables in the farm and admiring Texas native wildlife.  However, I found myself feeling as though I was in some sort of time warp.  It seemed as though this museum may have looked exactly the same way and boasted exactly the same exhibits when I was just a mere child.  I was actually a little saddened by the state of the facility.  Many exhibits did not work, there was a general air of disrepair about the building and there were few patrons actually visiting the museum on a weekend afternoon.  I don't know much about the ins and outs of supporting cultural landmarks; however, if I was a supporting member of this facility, I would definitely be wondering where my hard-earned money was being used.
