WOW museum.

Jon had 2/17 off so we went to the WOW Museum in Lodi - http://wowsciencemuseum.org/

Smaller science museums can be hit or miss, be we all really liked this one. It is about a 30 minute drive from where we live. We ate breakfast, and piled into the car and off we went. Happily, the kids napped on the way down. It's always nice when the kids nap in the car. Then the adults can listen to what music they want, and talk, all without the children trying to hop into the conversation.

They had a little store that was off to the other side of the museum - which was nice. You didn't have to get to the exit by going through the store - and you didn't have to walk in through the store either. Both things were very, very nice. Especially when your kids really like to buy science things that are in science stores in science museums.

We started off together at the flight simulator. Then we started building cars. Nicholas hung out and built cars for about an hour. Abby went to various other stations while Nicholas was building cars. Jon even hung out at a puzzle stations trying to figure out the puzzles.

Nicholas liked the Dominoes too.

One of the best things about this museum is that it is small - yet high quality. You can be on one side of the museum and still see -and hear - your kid on the other side. It's fabulous. So Jon could work his puzzles, Nicholas could build cars, and Abby and I could play Dominoes.

Abby played with the magnetic blocks too. A lot.

We stayed for a while. Nicholas would've happily stayed all day. But Abby went into the kids' area and started laying down on the floor - which meant she was tired.

So after a few hours of play we went home. It was a great stop. We will totally be visiting this museum again.

Can you tell what Abby's favorite thing to do was? She liked that this machine blew her hair up when she pointed it into her face. It was supposed to teach about Bernoulli's Principle, but she just thought it was fun.
