Notes from the Road, Day 14
We spent six hours at a single museum today–that’s something we’ve never done before. Columbus’ COSI has a lot to do for tots and school-age kids. We didn’t even get to see the special Sesame Street exhibit. It was fun to go with my sister and niece and meet a friend and her kids there.
Quiet New Year’s Eve for us; the big highlight will be ordering pizza since that’s something we never get to do on the farm!
I hope you all have a great 2009. I’m looking forward to continuing to share our adventures with you in the coming year. Happy New Year!
Book Mama’s Mama here. I enjoy reading your blogs and your “travels with children”. When Book and her twin sisters were Girl Scouts (years ago!!), we took a handful of scouts and went to Columbus’ COSI for an entire week end – we spent two days at COSI and spent the night at the Ohio state fairgrounds. It was great, and I have since then encouraged anyone in the Columbus area to visit the center. (Toledo has a smaller COSI version which recently closed – but will reopen in late 2009 – hooray!) If you ever find yourself on I-70 again, go to Indianapolis and stop at their Children’s Museum – supposedly the largest and the best in the world. Being an ex Hoosier, as kids, we spent lots of weekends going to the museum, Conner Prairie, Santa Claus, the Speedway, the dunes, Lake Tippicanoe, and a host of other places only a Hoosier would know about!!
Thanks for bringing back some pleasant memories!
