Cradle of Aviation

3/18/2011

 
On St. Patrick's Day we ate yummy shamrock pancakes, and then headed to the Cradle of Aviation museum.  Our family has been to the Cradle of Aviation museum several times because we reserve free family passes at our local library - woohoo!  We can also reserve free family passes to the Long Island Children's Museum (FABULOUS!!! - We have been there several times as well!), Westbury Gardens (So excited to go there for the first time at the end of April!), Garvies Point Museum (Indians and sparkly rocks - fun for toddlers if only gone to occasionally), and Long Island Museum of Art, History, and Carriages (Going there for the first time on Friday - will probably also be a "fun for toddlers if only gone to occasionally" experience).  These passes are such a blessing because we wouldn't be able to visit these places, but as Nassau County library members we get to visit them all the time! :)

If you live in Nassau county, head over to your local library and schedule a time to visit these awesome museums.  If you reserve the pass for a weekday the wait is very short - you may even be able to get in the following week.  If you reserve the pass for a weekend you will most likely have to wait 4-8 weeks.  Enjoy!

"The moon!  The moon!  The moon!" Abbie always shouts.

The Cradle of Aviation museum also has an adorable little play area for 2-5 year-olds called the Junior Jet club.  It's filled with fun things for little ones to do - helicopter and spaceship to fly, flight books to read, a space station to gather rocks and build with blocks, toy airplanes, airport legos, and even the inside of a real airplane for little ones to practice being flight attendants!

That looks like a lot of fun! I'm going to have to look into what kind of things are around here for my little one(s). We definitely need to get out of the house more often next winter! :)

A little body often harbors a great soul.
