Ben was out of town for work a few weeks ago and ended up having to stay longer than planned so we were on our own for this Saturday outing.
We started at Ikea and picked up a few Christmas decorations. Then we headed to the College Park Aviation Museum. This was our first time here and I really loved it. They had some great exhibits and some great hands-on activities for the kids. They had fun trying on aviation outfits, climbing into a real cockpit, building with legos, and making some crafts. They even gave the kids little goodie bags on the way out. And to top it off, there was hardly anyone else there. The museum is located on the grounds of the world's oldest continuously operating airport which is pretty cool. We didn't see any planes take off, but we did see a groundhog roaming around on the runway and a few deer.
There was a disc golf course just down the street so we decided to stop and play. It had rained for nearly a week straight and it finally let up by the time we left the museum so we were eager for an outdoor activity. I was surprised how much the kids loved playing. It had been awhile since we played. Even Oliver loved to keep up with us and get his disc in every basket.
We ended the day with a visit to the playground at Lee District and then the kids put on a show for me at the amphitheater.
