After the Science Museum we headed over to Westmore Park where Penny could see some animals and run around.  It was a beautiful afternoon and we all had a great time!

On Friday morning while Grandpa Tom was at work, we headed to the Children’s Museum in West Hartford.  I went there numerous times as a child and remember fondly playing in the whale and the hands-on room.  We had a great time, though it feels like it hasn’t really improved much in the past 30 years.  The whale is still there as is the downstairs playroom with the shadow wall, the planetarium is still running and we were lucky enough to go to a children’s showing with Big Bird as the announcer- Penny loved it!  Unfortunately the hands-on room is gone replaced with a toy room that is uneducational and kinda boring.  Penny liked it- it had a play kitchen and slide in it, but those are things she gets to play with daily.  In the end, Penny had a blast, so that is all that matters!
