Bright Lights, Bigger City

I have traveled the world. Seriously, I had been practically everywhere before I graduated high school. Europe, Asia, Australia, you name it I’ve probably been there. I am grateful for all the opportunities to see different places and experience life. In between all of that, I lived about 40 minutes outside of NYC, which, for a teenager, was amazing. I loved the culture and the nightlife.


I am older now, and my club kid days are long passed me. Now, if we go out, its to family friendly events and places.

Luckily for us, there are a lot of opportunities here in the heart of the Midwest.

The Washington Pavillion-there 3 facets of this place, each independent and fascinating. There is the visual arts museum, which has a permenant installation of Native American art. The other galleries feature changing installations.

Kirby Science Center features a lot of great kid friendly exhibits and activities. We love to go on first Friday (admission is free and the cine-dome movies are $5/person)

There also is a performing arts space, and unfortunately I have only been to one performance there since we moved (this is after I was an avid McCarter Theatre fan). The performance? Nick Jr live for the Little Man’s birthday in 2010.
