Iron Bridge

The first Iron Bridge built in the world.



They even had a little science center that Ella enjoyed very much!
We built our own bridge and Ella walked under it right before it fell to the ground.
They had a really neat village with a lots of shops from way back in the 1700s. Ella really liked this museum too. We saw a Blacksmith, a general store, the Chemist, the leather shop, the candle maker, the wood carver, and the school. Surprisingly she loved the blacksmith the most I think. She didn't want to leave his shop.

On our way home we went to the Iron Bridge. They have about 10 museums that all have to do with the area and the products they produced because of the iron We went to 4. They were pretty interesting actually and Ella was able to have fun at 2. At the end of the day we told her that if she was a good girl at all the museums she could pick out something from the last gift shop. She picked out an iron frog and of course wanted to get her little brother, Luke, something too. She picked out an iron train for him. We had a great time. Its our last trip before baby number 2 comes. Then we are hoping to head to the south of France with Luke right before we leave. That is if we can get his passport/visa in time.
