Bainbridge Island

Last Monday, my friend Aubrey and I decided to take our kids on a little homeschool field trip to visit the Children's Museum on Bainbridge Island. We had never been there before, so I thought it would be something fun for us to do, especially since we are still waiting for most of our homeschool curriculum to arrive (thanks to the frustratingly slow school district!).

We took a ferry over to the island in the morning and it was sooo foggy! It was slightly creepy to be sailing through the thick fog across the sound. It was also kind of creepy to watch Bainbridge island appear out of the fog as we approached.



After getting off the ferry, we we went to a park to eat some lunch and let the kids play, and then it was off to the museum. It's kind of a small place, but it's so cool! They have a little grocery store, post office, bank, doctor's office, construction site, etc. complete with fake money, groceries, letters, xrays, and anything else little hearts could possibly desire for playing pretend. There was also an upstairs section with tracks to send balls down and even a wall where you can make your own track for the balls. The kids had a blast! 











After the museum, we stopped for some yummy ice cream.



Then it was back onto the ferry for the ride home. The day turned out to be gorgeous, despite the earlier fog and the ferry ride home was beautiful.





This picture cracks me up with my hair flying all over the place and the kids posing.



I'm hoping to do several more outings before the weather gets bad, so hopefully I can keep up with the blog posts. After school starts is the perfect time to go everywhere, because it's not crowded anymore! :)
