Bloggy Moms- August Blog Dare- Our Destination

      This is the perfect topic for today. The end of Summer weekend is upon us and every year we like to do something special with our kids, a staycation, it's a day where you do some thing in your local area you wouldn't normally do, just not a full vacation. This year we decided to go to Waterville, it is a water park and amusement park in our local area. We were all very excited when this was the place we all agreed on. As the weekend approached we started watching the weather, living here on the gulf coast you know there is going to at least be afternoon showers this time of year. This particular weekend they were expecting flooding rain, REALLY???, err.. Waterville is outso we started thinking of where our destination was now going to be.            
                              
      My husband came up with the great idea of going over to Mobile, AL and visiting The Exploreum and spending the day in the "city"( this is the nearest city to us that has large buildings that are mini sky scrapers). The kids love this place and it would be nice to enjoy some time out of our small town. I checked into prices and they had an AWESOME special going on for just 10.00 per person and this included the whole museum and a IMAX show. That really was a price that couldn't be beat. So we had our destination! We talked about getting a hotel, just a regular room. Our kids love staying in hotels, just as all kids do, its a new place with things to do and things to touch. However, it wasn't in our budget so we decided that will be something we will plan next time and just spend the day at the museum, have some lunch, and stop by our favorite store while we are out that way. It's going to be a great day!
