After getting some coffee (and other treats) we walked to the Building Museum. It was a pretty building.
And it was beautiful inside.
Except for one flaw, the building was being used for the Cherry Blossom 10 mile race pick up location. And in the main hall they had a big runners exhibition, so there were tons of people there who weren't there to see the museum.
We decided to stay and walked through the exhibits and you know i have to say they were pretty sparse. Most of the exhibits were lots of reading and pictures but we found a couple of hands on things like this puzzle.
The big draw for the museum is the Building Zone. Well the problem for my kids is it is designed for kids under 6. So we didn't get in there. We did go into the exhibit called Play Work Build. They had all kinds of building toys on display and in the center of the room they had some building toys. The boys had fun with these foam lego type toys. (I enjoyed the light table and how great you could get pictures there.)
They also had bigger versions in the next room, which was really cool and had holes in the walls where you could build up the walls too. Evan really enjoyed this room, even though there was this little boy who kept stealing his building blocks and his parents both stood there with the phones on Facebook not paying any attention. Luckily Evan is pretty easy going and didn't let it bother him as much as it bugged me. (Yes I hate those parents who don't mind their children.)
Darren and Ian enjoyed the large foam blocks too but in a different way. (You can see Evan in the background, he is eyeing all the Lego buildings in the display case.)
Outside on the walk to the Hard Rock Cafe, we found this pretty tree outside a firehouse.
