Places to Go - Out & About, the Watercolor Version (Early Spring 2014)

Doesn't everything look better in watercolor?



Ziplining through the trees with P at the Adventure Park of Sandy Spring. She's now old enough (7.5) to do the green courses, crazy fun.



A Monday afternoon "date" with T at the Smithsonian National History Museum. We checked out insects and "Beyond Bollywood: Indian Americans Shape the Nation."

Speaking of the Smithsonian, did you read this Washington Post article on the T Rex that Got Away (the world's most complete T-Rex skeleton resides at the Field Museum in Chicago, after winning the $8.3 million bidding war)?



At the National History Museum we also visited the new interactive exhibit, Q?rius, (we had to find it for ourselves because the super bitchy woman at the information desk refused to tell me the location, saying it was only meant for teenagers).

Luckily, once we arrived Qr?ius had a ton of fun stuff that T loved (rocks under microscopes, drawers full of fossils and musical instruments, skulls, etc.) and a very welcoming staff.



Tuckahoe Playground after preschool. Have you visited here yet? They have a HUGE new climbing structure that the kids couldn't get enough of, plus a cool multi-person swing. Click here to read The Meanest Mama's review.

(And, yes, that "kid" in the black leggings is me. I couldn't resist, kids can't claim all the fun).



Boots in the sand for a moms' weekend at Rehoboth Beach.



Followed by: Coronas, karaoke, and Cards Against Humanity (i.e. the perfect weekend away).
