The museum has a little something for everyone.  For fans of all things space, there is a planetarium featuring a 60 foot dome screen as well as space science exhibits.  The art fans will be impressed by the changing art exhibitions.  And if history is...

Ready or not, spring is here! I can't wait! Sunshine. Outdoor Activities. Longer Days. New, Bright, and Colorful Clothes. Oh my! I love seeing kids in pastel colors and airy fabrics after the dark colors and layers of winter. Just picture an adorable seersucker dress with yellow piping or linen shorts with a pastel pink collared shirt. Can we say adorable?? I enjoy dressing my kids in boutique or higher end brands, but I am also not one to let my fashion vision break the bank. I have a few tips on how to dress your kids without going broke. Firstly, I am constantly browsing web sites to see what's available that season. This way I can keep an eye out for sales...
