Free parks day!

Last week our city had this neat thing where if  you are a member of any of the parks or museums in the city you could go to any of the others for free! There were about 25 places participating. Since we're members of our zoo we were able to check out some new places. First we went to Barber Motor Sports Museum. This place is right around the corner from our house and they have races there all the time but we had never actually been out there. What a cool place! They have 5 floors of nothing but cool motorcycles and cars. The boys especially loved it.




Then after naps we headed over to The Vulcan Museum. The Vulcan is this big statue that sits atop our city. For several reasons it's not really a big deal to me but I thought  it would be something fun to do. You can ride up an elevator and look out over the whole city.
This is a replica of how big The Vulcan's foot is
Someone offered to take a picture of all of us. Lovely :)

I don't think I would visit these places on a regular basis but for free they were a great day out! We'll be checking out some more next year :)
