Last weekend, my parents visited us in Cincinnati. We went to the Museum Center, which houses several different museums. The building used to be the main train station, and it is still a stop for Amtrak today. We went to the Pompeii exhibit, which had artifacts from the excavations at Pompeii. We learned a lot about daily life there, as well as the eruption that buried the city in 79 AD.
