NEVER go to the museum on a weekday when apparently everyone took the week off, everyone decided to go to the museum and everyone was going for the Harry Potter exhibit! After an hour trip (~45 miles) to get to within a qtr mile of the museum, we spent the next hour and fifteen minutes trying to get to the museum and parked.
Then we got to elbow our way around the other 8.6B people (the approximate world's population right now per a museum exhibit) to try to let the kids see a couple things AND we had to stick around until a 6:30 show to let the kids see the Harry Potter exhibit.
DISCLAIMER - We have not watched or read any of the HP stuff...but this silly exhibit has been advertised SO much around Massachusetts, that the kids were amped to see it....
After MANY hours at the museum our chance finally came and we went in to essentially see costumes and beds and a few life-size replicas of certain things in the movies. Kristen and I were bored and annoyed and only Jaden was truly interested as he was listening to the little audio tour that told about the things we were looking at...
Of course, that was until we hit the "dark" section or basically HP's enemies...we had no idea how scary and disturbing some of these things were! So we ushered the kids with hands over their eyes as much as possible through the rest of the exhibit and out the door...
Jaden was not happy but we hope we will all sleep better for not having let them see too much :)
Finally home just after 8:30 pm to put the kids to bed and for us to basically collapse as well.
YEAH!
I love family days :)
