Natural History Museum

Have you ever been proud of yourself....I mean really stinking proud that you did something. That is how I felt after tackling this little adventure with three kids on my own.

The last day of our trip I needed to kill some time so that I could drive home in the evening (aka: when kids are sleeping.) I had heard that it was "free" day at the Natural History Museum that particular day so I decided to go, with my three kids, to one of the busiest days for the museum all year. Just look at the line to get in!

Once in, it was a madhouse. I am pretty sure we waited to use the bathroom for about half an hour. We did have a good show though as one over-exhausted mother got into a full on screaming match with a stressed out day-care worker over who was in line first.

So yes, I was crazy...but would I do it again???... probably. Well, maybe not on free day. The kids, especially Abby, had a great time. After about 4 hours there, it was time to leave, but Abby did not want to. She was begging to stay longer. I ended up having to promise her I would bring her back next time we were in town. (She must be my child because Taylor and I both secretly love museums! In fact one of our first dates was to a museum. Nerdy. I don't admit that to many.)
