Spring Break....we're headed to sunny Columbus, Ohio!





Turns out that Jason had a trade show scheduled for his work during the same week as our spring break so the girls and I decided to take advantage of the time off and go with him. Not sure how excited he was since he would have normally had a few days of peace and quiet on the road by himself (haha!) but we are making it a family trip anyway! ; ) We arrived in OH on Monday early enough to visit their COSI museum (Columbus Ohio Science and Industry museum), rated #1 in the nation by Parent's Magazine. We were all very excited to have a day of fun together at this place. I had read on the internet alot about this museum so I knew there were a lot of great exhibits we would need to fit into our time there. We got to see rare frogs from around the world, learn about space from a kids' perspective, view a movie titled "The Wild Ocean" on their GIANT (6o foot!) movie screen, play with all kinds of gadgets and walk thru a history exhibit, taking the girls from the pioneer days, to the 1950s to the present day. To sum it all up in one word, FUN! We loved our time there and have already promised we would go again in the near future. Needless to say, it also wore us all out by the end of our first day. Tuesday the girls and I are planning to spend time just hanging out in the room, playing with some of our toys we brought and taking advantage of our time off together! We'll be sure and update more as our week unfolds......

I remember going to COSI as a field trip when I was in 3rd grade. It's a pretty neat place! We're headed to Ohio on Friday for a couple of days...not to Columbus though! There is lots to do there...Have fun!
