Edmund with Daddy at the Carolina Basketball MuseumChapel Hill is having another mini heat wave it seems. However, that didn't stop Steven, Edmund, and I from making our way to the new Carolina Basketball Museum yesterday. We simply made sure to keep our bouncing baby boy cool. The nice thing about being on maternity leave while Steven is off is that we can explore our town together. Unfortunately, Edmund will only have the pictures to prove he was with us.
The basketball museum is very well done. When you walk in you are escorted into a stand up theater that plays a short movie about Carolina basketball. The theater screen is essentially shaped like a basketball giving one more of the basketball experience. Once the movie finishes, museum patrons make their way to the main exhibit. The room is a Carolina basketball lover's dream. Of course Edmund slept through most of his first true Carolina experience, but did look up at his mom a few times throughout the visit, as if to say "where am I?" Of course we told him he had entered the most wonderful place in the world. We believe the best memorabilia in the museum is Michael Jordan's letter of intent to attend Carolina placed next to his rejection letter to Duke. As we departed the museum, we headed through a room which houses the National Championship trophies. Edmund looks forward to one day being on the Championship team. And to think right now he is barely bigger than one of Sean May's shoes!
