Valentines, Romance

I never really cared about valentines.  Sure I like chocolate, and excuses to give my daughters presents, but a day to guilt you into spending money.

This was the best Valentines day yet!  Instead of chocolates and flowers we spent our money on gas and went up to the local Science Museum.


 OMSI is big.  We only had about two hours so we didn't see everything.  It was nice to spend the hours exploring and not rushing.  The girls loves looking at dinosaur bones (we even talked with a paleontologist.)  And they enjoyed looking at all the different rocks.
 OMSI is great because of its many hands on exhibits.
 Including a puppet stage.  We managed to avoid the school groups and take our time on the exhibits we liked best.
 Charity and Daddy had a balancing contest, I don't know who won.

 And I even got in on the action virtually jumping rope.

At the end of the morning we were sad to leave, there was so much more to see and do.  But Jon had to work so we're making plans for another trip before too long.

It might not have been a day of love, flowers and chocolates but it was time spent together!
