Sucker for a Museum
I'm a sucker for a good children's museum. Mike likes to call me a "leave-the-house-mom" because I get cabin fever very easily. Museums are a great alternative to sitting around in my sweats eating bon-bons (does anyone really do that?) or blowing an entire paycheck at Target. I also love taking the girls to them because they get to play and discover things they wouldn't at home. I usually like playing with the exhibits too. And, if I'm lucky enough to go with a friend, it's a great time to get some adult conversation and not feel like I'm neglecting my children. The item in my wallet that gets used almost as much as my credit card is my museum pass. It gets me into science museums all over the country for a bargain price. Thanks to Jennette for sharing the beauty of the pass with me a few years ago! I took Talia to Charlotte's Discovery Place yesterday with some friends and as you can see from the pictures she had a blast (I did too).

Karen! I'm so happy you have a blog. Jenny gave me your address so I'm adding it to my list so I can check up on you regularly! We miss you dearly and I loved seeing your girls in your cute pictures and getting a glimpse of your life. You're (as always) an amazing mom!!!

Very inspiring post. You made me want to go and explore the children's museum in SLC.
I love the children's museums too. We have a pretty fun one too, and our membership gets us into several around the country.....thank heavens for the museum on our snowy, Iowa days! Your girls are soooo cute!
We stumbled across some pics of the Bay Area Discovery museum the other day....boy, do I miss that one!! The Charlotte museum sounds really fun. Glad to hear you had a day out.
Our museum attendance has gone waaaay down since you all moved to Charlotte. I think I'm going to buy a Discovery Museum pass for this summer, so I can take June while Nathan is in preschool.
I want to hear a little more about your museum pass. That would be nice to be able to get into more than one.
I'm also interested - exactly what museum pass is this that gets you into museums all over the country? We have one that gets us into out-of-state museums through a membership-sharing program, but I'd sure love one that gets us into the museums around here.
