The problem with "Stay-cations" is that you're not REALLY gone. So when a move or a funeral or something else like that pops up, you feel bad not helping out, so that cuts into your "family time". Maybe we'll learn to just pretend we really are gone in the future, but it's hard.
So the point of all of that is that our day long outing to the Science Center got greatly shortened by church events and a few last minute school errands. But we were determined to make it down there so even though we only got to spend 2 hours down there, we made it and we made the most of it. The kids had a blast and were sad when it closed and we got kicked out. My favorite part is the touch tanks. I just love all those little sea critters. So cute! The kids always love the flash flood in the desert and of course all the very many many hands on activities. We spent a good amount of time in the discovery center too so that was fun. Even if my kids are getting older and bigger, they still had a great time.
Afterward we stopped at CPK for a little dinner with our GC from our AMEX points. Totally love getting free dinner. The kids did really well and everyone had a good time. I think it was a successful day after all.
