Spring Break

As much as my preference would be to simply stay home and enjoy each other over Spring Break, we had a little sunshine today.  So the boys and I decided to see how much vitamin D we could absorb this morning.  I'd always heard that the Evergreen Air & Space Museum had a fun park for the kids so we headed that way.  The park itself was well maintained and really cute.  I would have loved to have taken the kids to explore in the museum, but it would have cost us $48 (and that's with Hudson & Finley in the "free" category).  The property itself has quite a few planes & tanks outside that the kids can look at and of course they have no problem with us wandering through the gift store.  We took a peek inside the space museum and they had a cute little bi-plane ride which Spencer was pretty interested in.

Spencer:  "Can I ride on the plane even though we didn't pay admission?" 
Mr. Space Museum:  "Not usually."
Spencer:  "How about today?"

You'll have to look down through the photos to see what happened next.


Sunshine on our shoulders!

Pretty cool play structure by kid standards

Wow, they've added a lot to that place since I was there. Doesn't your local library have the day passes you can check out to go there for free? That is how we did it a few years back.
