I love museums!
This is probably due to the fact that my mom was a history major and drug us to tons of museums. I was also home-schooled for kindergarten and 1st grade as well as 5th and 6th grade, and museums are a great way to learn history. I probably can't even remember all the museums I've been too.
Some museums that stand out are: Museum of History and Industry in Seattle, The Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wy, The Smithsonian in DC and The Children's Museum in Seattle.
When I was little we went to Seattle a lot, or at least it seemed like a lot. There were trips to UW to see where Mom and Dad had met. Trips to Seattle Center and The Pacific Science Center.
Seattle Center was always so much fun. The monorail is there, the fudge shop is there, they hold cool learn to dance events there and the Children's Museum is in the basement.
I loved going to the Children's Museum. I don't remember how many time we went but it was so cool. Everything was my size and there was so much to explore. Years later I would talk about wanting kids just so I could go to the museum.
Well on Friday I got my wish. Some friends invited me and Samuel to go with them to the Everett Children's Museum. The sad part is this wasn't Samuel's first time. He's been to the museum 2 times already with Tyrone.
I woke up Friday morning so excited. I've seen the playground on the roof from other buildings and heard about all the fun things to do at the museum and couldn't wait to have Samuel show me around.
We walked inside and Samuel ran to the Monte Cristo Railroad area to watch the electric trains. He ran around the exhibit over and over to keep pace with the train. Then he played with the giant wooden railway.
I was looking around at all the cool things the airplane, farm, fire engine, bus and treehouse. I asked Samuel if we could go see the plane, his response "all done plane." So we played trains.
After 30 minutes of trains I was able to get him to go play on the fire engine. That lasted about 10 minutes and then he wanted "more trains." We did get to take a detour and see the plane before we headed back to the trains.
Another 30 minutes had gone by and I texted Tyrone, "does Samuel like anything besides trains?" Tyrone answered back, "not really, he just likes the trains."
Soon it was time to leave so I picked up Samuel and made some quick stops at what I wanted to see. He wasn't really interested in anything else.
After my first trip I was a little sad that I didn't get to explore with my son but happy we were able to have some mommy-son time and play trains.
Maybe next time he'll let me explore
