Today my dad and I and Hannah went to a Leonardo Da Vinci Museum where they had built many of the machines that Leonardo drew in his sketchbooks. The machines were made of real wood and string and things that would have been available during the time that he lived. The displays were interactive and my favorite one was like a helicopter. It was a platform with a pole in the middle and cloth for the blades that turned in a spiral. The way it turns forces air upward and keeps on going until it lifts the vehicle into the air. What Leonardo didn’t know because he didn’t have a chance to really test it, was that the vehicle was too heavy to fly.

It was amazing to me that someone who lived so long ago invented so many things that are used today.

After the Museum, we went to have gelato with my mom. I had a great day!
