An Outing to the Ford Museum

It's been a while since I've been to the Ford Museum in Dearborn, so when I found out that every month the museum has a special "children's outing day" where the museum provides games, activities, storytelling, giveaways and more for kids, Logan and I decided to spend the day there. We were glad to have some friends come with us. I found a coupon for 25% off an adult admission, plus children 4 and under get in free, so it was a bargain.

We saw lots of fun things, did lots of fun things, and had a great time. Some of the museum highlights are --- the chair that Lincoln was assassinated in (in Ford's Theater in Washington DC), the Rosa Parks bus, and the presidential limousine that John F. Kennedy was assassinated in. So many unusual and different items and collections, along with lots of cars, planes, trains, and other old-fashioned household items, toys, clothing, agricultural, and industrial collective items.

Greenfield Village (an outdoor village next to the Ford museum) has a "children's day outing" planned next month. Logan and I plan to go. We love Greenfield Village. I took all the kids last summer (see link here), but because Logan is still young enough to get in for free, I figure it's smart to go now while it's cheap.
