Adventures in Learning in Birmingham







This past weekend the kids and I braved the icy cold weather with Keith and went to Birmingham, Alabama for a three day weekend. This has become one of my favorite cities that Keith works in. It has wonderful shopping and plenty of kid freindly sights and activities. We have not spent a lot of our time downtown, which I must say is quite run down and abandon, but there still are a few good finds such as the McWane Science Center. With four levels of interactive science exhibits and everything from dinosaur bones to a shark and sting ray tank both my kids were very entertained for the three hours we were there! For an additional cost you can also take in a show at the IMAX Dome theater...we have attempted this before only to run out w/ both kids screaming so I decided not to bother this go around!

Be sure to check out the Itty Bitty Magic City that included plenty of tot toys for Kendall and even had a Mini golf area that was great for Kaden :)
