art museum

As the kids get older, it is harder and harder to find affordable things that we can all agree on for family activities. One thing I have in mind to do this summer is to take my son and his girlfriend to a free art museum. I have been there a couple of years ago and found it to be small enough to enjoy with lots of diverse exhibits. I am hoping it will be a great family outing for a family with older children.

adult outings

We were able to take our teens out to a couple of more "adult" places this past weekend for my husband's birthday. One night we went to a comedy theater, which runs shows rated PG/PG-13. The kids enjoyed the hilarious show and fit in just fine with the mostly adult crowd.

The next day we went out for lunch in a nice but still affordable restaurant. I didn't see many kids there. The lights are lower, there is jazz music playing and I didn't see any high chairs. There are nice goblets on the table and fine steaks served. It was very pleasant to be able to take the kids out for more adult fare.
