Happy Museum Day!

Why, hello friends!  Wondering what to do this weekend?  Wonder no more!  Visit your friendly, neighborhood museum!

That's right!  Hundreds of museums nationwide are participating in the 6th Annual Museum Day on Saturday, September 25th.  I might be somewhat biased, but I think museums are among the best places for family outings.  Museums are appropriate for any age.  Infants can experience the sounds and colors.  Teens can text with their friends just as easily from a museum (free wifi!) as from the couch.

Worried about your toddler talking too loudly?  Contrary to the stereotypes, most museums encourage their visitors to talk and engage with the exhibits.  Many art museums host special programs just for young families!  Have I sold it yet?  Did I mention that the participating museums are FREE on Saturday?  What are you waiting for?  Call your friends!  Have fun!
