5/11/13. Since we visited the Edison National Historic Site last spring, we have been looking forward to returning. Today we gathered the rest of the family for Mother's Day Weekend and drove to South Orange to visit the laboratory. The rain and thunderstorms did not dampen our enthusiasm!
John, Brad, Catherine, Jason, Kelsey and I got their early afternoon and began reading through the exhibits:


Check out this amazing/crazy statue!
We got a lot more out of seeing the factory machinery after having been to Lowell MA last summer. Now we understand how the machines are powered.


This is basically a mechanical spreadsheet. How clever!
We ended the afternoon with a tour of Edison's home. This is one of our favorite parts to the historic site!
