We toured the International Printing Museum in Carson this week. We had a great tour guide who showed us a printing press that Benjamin Franklin would have used while telling us a bit about Mr. Franklin and his days as a colonial printer...
Did you know Benjamin Franklin was one of America's first self made millionaires, which would be more like a billionaire in todays time, all thanks to his printing business. He retired and sold his business at age 42, leaving plenty of time for kite flying in his retirement years!
We also saw an older Gutenberg press...
Our guide was super funny and entertaining!
Then, we got to meet the man himself, Benjamin Franklin! He, also, kept the kids engaged with his humor!
Just down the freeway from the Printing Press is Heritage Park in Cerritos, so of course we had to stop there to enjoy a picnic lunch and lots of fun! It is a park with the playground made to look like a Boston Colonial Town, so cute and FUN! The kids had a blast!
This building is filled with slides and climbing apparatuses...
Another fun-filled learning adventure!
