Free day at the museum

I love the museum here in town. It is seriously SO expensive though. To take my entire family would cost us a nice $40 each time. So not worth it when we are only there for about 2 hours.

Monday was FREE day at the museum. This is the very first time they have done this since the museum opened 10 years ago. I knew it would be busy so we got there right at 9:00am (open time).

 

The traveling exhibit was all on carousels. It was surprisingly so interesting. They had old hand cranked carousels and old steam engine ones. Some of the animals were carved in the late 1800's. As I type this I'm thinking how lame I sound. Seriously though...it was really cool.

 

As we left the museum the line to get in was wrapped all the way around the museum. Early bird gets the worm man. So glad we got there when we did. ☺
