Matt and I decided on Friday night, that whatever did on Saturday, it needed to be out of the house. We brainstormed some ideas, including my brilliant idea of buying plane tickets right then for a quick trip to Florida- but Matt vetoed me. Party pooper. In all seriousness, if we had left first thing Saturday morning and come back Monday morning, we would have gotten really good prices! Crazy, right?
So, we went to bed not deciding.
We ended up deciding to go to the Children's Museum that morning, but decided we would try to go to the exhibits that we don't usually spend as much time at, and avoid the ones we ALWAYS go to. The girls were totally in.
Matt needed some sunglasses for his drive... the girls cracked up. (originally from a "Where's Waldo" kid's meal toy)
We visited the National Geographic "Treasures of the Earth" exhibit. These are life size puzzles of Han Dynasty warriors from China. Very cool.
and investigating a pirate shipwreck.
...and the Hot Wheels exhibit, which is super cool. I didn't get pictures of the area where they have the little Hot Wheels with cool tracks to loop and race your cars on. It was pretty busy when we were there and hard to get a place in line.
After the Hot Wheels exhibit, we got free tickets to see a Planetarium show (still at the museum) featuring Big Bird and Elmo. They always offer it, but usually the times don't work out for us. This time we made it work and had a great time. Lily was so nervous in the dark room at first and then declared it "awesome" and "fantastic."
Then, later that day, we hit Toys R Us with some of the girls' Christmas Gift Cars and they each picked out a new Lego set. They played Legos the rest of the night and the whole next morning.
It was a good weekend.
