Day Three: Child's Play

Yesterday we started our morning playing on the beach again. We left mid-morning to head back towards Boston where we spent the day at the Children’s Museum. It’s one of the best in the nation and the kids definitely agreed. They had recreations of scenes from the Arthur book series, a real Japanese home rebuilt inside the museum, and an international space station replica built with help from NASA. Charlotte loved the “Tools” section where she was able to use a real saw, drill, and screw driver. Lucy loved the toddler area where she spent hours playing with a huge train set and going up and down the slides. Eli loved the “Raceway” where the kids rolled golf balls down intricate metal pathways and through rolling mazes

Afterwards, we headed towards Rhode Island. Did you know that Rhode Island is the smallest state in the nation yet has the highest number of donut shops (342)? We drove right through since we had spent so much time at the museum. We drove to Connecticut and after a stop to eat, we ended up at our campsite where everyone fell fast asleep.
