With a few more days of having Mark home before he starts a new job, we spent the day down at Franklin Institute to explore the Real Pirate’s exhibit which was pretty cool. It tells the story of a real pirate ship that was found off the coast of Cape Cod. There was a life-sized model of a Pirate ship that we could walk through and lots of treasure on display. We also saw an IMax movie called Wild Ocean that was pretty neat. We ended up buying a membership since it wasn’t much more than a normal admission. So, we’ll be headed there again to get our money’s worth. What’s neat about the membership is that it will also get us into the Baltimore Science Center near my parent’s house. So, I guess we’ll be hitting that one later this summer too.
P.S. telltale sign that kids had fun today—both Evan and Ashlyn are sleeping with maps of the franklin institute and have already planned out their next trip there.
