The year of the museum

Working at the Portland Art Museum we recently got a card called REAP passes that allow us two free tickets to a whole list of museums and attractions in Portland. We can go to the zoo, the children's museum, the aviation museum, OMSI is our science museum and a bunch of other places all for free.

On Tuesday I had a mommy fail and thought Kaden had school but it was teacher in service day. He was excited to go back and I thought it was his turn for "show and tell". We pulled up to an empty parking lot and looked up the school website. So, what did we do instead? We cashed in on my new benefits and headed to the children's museum. It was so weird going there when it wasn't super packed. We've only gone on free days or weekends. We spent a few hours taking our time through the different exhibits. The new one is the Lego exhibit. It was a fun morning. It totally threw off my morning to do list (including a meeting I totally spaced and blogging about all our Christmas activities). Can't wait to take advantage of the card and see some stuff in Portland that I would necessarily pay money for but would like to see. This year has been renamed the year of the museum.
