Beginning my spring break with a visit to the museum with Lynne and company

My spring break began on Friday at 3:00. It could not have come any sooner. I needed the break and it began with another fun visit to the Appleton Children's Museum with Lynne, Melissa, Meghan, the boys, Courtney, and Tizita. We began our day with a lunch of hot dogs at the 1910 Hot Dog Company in Appleton. We had planned to eat at a restaurant in the museum mall. On our last visit we had all enjoyed chocolate chip pancakes, but as soon as we walked into that restaurant we could tell by the smell that it no longer was serving pancakes, but had gone Greek on us. Since none of the kids or me were interested in gyros, we went in search of alternative dining. We found the 1910 Hot Dog Company where we enjoyed some very yummy hot dogs. The kids enjoyed the decor and we all appreciated that it was very kid friendly. On to the museum. Tizita had to show everyone how the money machine worked.

The boys flew the plane while their two passengers buckled themselves in and got ready for the flight. Not sure where they were headed, but they sure had fun.

Oh no, Air Traffic Controller asleep at the controls as the plane tries to land! And yes, this really did happen at the airport in Washington D.C.

Meghan and Tizita enjoyed creating things at the Davinci Studio. Both of the girls used more than their share of glitter in their masterpieces.

Checking out Africa on the big globe.

Shopping in the Japenese store was fun for everyone.

We took a ride on the cat bus in the Japenese area, too.

Tizita is dressed in her kimono and ready to serve us some tea.

And finally, here we are in the famous lady chair. We took a picture here the last time we visited the museum together in Nov. of 2009. I am going to try and post the link here. http://sherri-damman.blogspot.com/2009/11/trip-to-children.html
I am having trouble making it possible to you to get to this link by clicking on it. If you want to see the last trip just go to older posts. We went in Nov. 2009. It is fun to compare the pictures.

It was a most enjoyable day for all of us. I have missed spending time with my good friend, Lynne and her grandkids. ( Melissa, too, of course) Life seemed to get in the way for all of us. I am hoping to see much more of them this summer. Thanks, Lynne and company for a great day.
