For the month of February we traveled to Virginia Living Museum. It was a blustery day and the threat of snow was only a couple days away. It was Valentine's day and the museum had a special reptile exhibit going on. I have never seen so many snakes in one place. But my favorite reptile was the spurred tortoise from Africa. There were two of them and we were able to touch their shells.
Admission to the museum was $60 for the four of us, plus we spent another $47 in the gift shop. Since this was the kids Valentines gift I think it was a good deal. Educational, fun, and great souvenirs were better than a box of chocolates any day.
My son's favorite place was the veterinarian play clinic. It is a permanent exhibit and kids are able to take stuffed animals out of cages in the clinic and perform checkups using the various play equipment there. This was such a hit that we went back twice for him to play. This is also what led him to want the vet kit and a stuffed otter from the gift shop. He spent the trip home checking the otter and his sister's beaver that she had wanted.
We also enjoyed watching the beavers move logs around and one even acted as a bulldozer pushing a pile of twigs and leaves into the back corner of their enclosure. I look forward to our next monthly travel outing and I wonder where we shall go. March is both my husband and my daughter's birth months.
