We're really lucky that Chris gets a 4 day weekend this weekend (Memorial Day weekend)! And we're even more lucky that when we realized that 5 days ago, we were able to take advantage of a "book 2 nights get 1 free" deal at a hotel in Philadelphia (well, technically the hotel is across the river in Jersey), and an awesome deal season passes to Sesame Place (which we were already planning to purchase at full price!). So we quickly booked it all, and are up in Philadelphia/Jersey for the long weekend!
The first thing we did when we arrived in Philly on Friday was go to the
Please Touch Museum. It was a really awesome Children's Museum with a variety of hands-on exhibits. We really liked it. The best part was if you had a military ID, you can get yourself and one other person in for free. So our whole family was free! That was a fun surprise!
My kids are obsessed with hangers - so this was a perfect activity for them! Ethan loved putting them up while Emily took them all down.
There were tons of busses, trains, trolleys, etc for the kids to play on! Ethan loved the bus.
What a handsome mailman he is!
There was a room with lots of shoes and you could measure your feet! Emily loved the foot measuring tool
"Hey mom - I can't quite figure out how this thing works"
I wish she enjoyed vacuuming this much at home!
There was a great Alice in Wonderland exhibit. Here is Emily "painting the roses red"
