Wilmington Children's Museum

On Saturday, we headed down to Wilmington for our first trip to the Wilmington Children's Museum. Apparently, the new baby is already starting to suck my brain juices because I misread the website and we got there about 45 minutes before it opened. So we just walked around the waterfront for a little while and found a great farmer's market. We really miss the farmer's markets in Hawaii so it was fun to walk around and see what kind of stuff was for sale. Dan loved seeing all the dogs being walked and the boats on the water.

The museum itself was pretty cool. A lot of the stuff is geared toward slightly older kids (crafting, science experiments, gardening) but Dan managed to entertain himself quite well with the train table, the sandbox, and the grocery store. He also really liked the camping room. Poor kid--maybe some nice relative or friend will take pity on him and take him camping someday because I don't foresee that activity in the future for Zach or me. Unless it's camping in the backyard with s'mores and a bathroom nearby. We're just not very "outdoorsy" people and I'm okay with that!
