  12. @Priyajsridhar
    Can I recall the first time I visited a museum?

    I have 2 memorable early museum trips, both around the time I was 12.

    One: me and my dad, touring the Museum of Natural History in NYC. I was fascinated plus: time with my dad. It's a fantastic museum.

    Two: school trip (Millburn Jr High) to D.C.--we saw everything! And most of a day in the Smithsonian. Yowza! I was sick (fever 102), but love love love.

    I still love museums.
