The weekend after Dan's birthday, we took a trip to San Jose for a day of hiking. Unfortunately, it started storming just as we pulled into the county park. We changed our plans at the last minute, and, on a whim, went to the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum instead. Neither one of us had been there, but we didn't want to waste the afternoon.
It turned out to be one of the best day trips we've ever taken.
The museum houses the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts in western North America, including several sarcophagi and two real mummies. There are also several animal mummies, along with other burial artifacts, jewelry, and a life-size rough-cut tomb. Fantastic!
We didn't get to see the whole museum, so we'll have to go back in the future.
We took very few pictures, but we did take a video. Here's Lua in one of the museum galleries, getting very talkative on Dan's shoulders. She was pretty loud, but, at 5 minutes until closing, were were the last people in the museum.
Listen, and you can hear her say, "Dadada!" for the first time on film.
