Today we all went to a museum in Philadelphia called the Please Touch Museum. It is located in the old Memorial Hall in Fairmont Park, which was built in the late 1800's and housed the Art Museum for many years. It is a beautiful building with outstanding architectural details. The museum now is designed for children under seven and everything in it is for the kids to touch and learn from. There was so much to see; a transportation center, a grocery store for the kids to shop, a hospital, bakery, water center, tree playground, and the girls favorite, the carousel. The carousel dated back to the 1800's/early 1900's and the details were so ornate. It wasn't too crowded and the girls enjoyed seeing all the different stations and getting to play. Mckenzie had a great time driving the cars and Abby loved the grocery shopping. We went to lunch at a place called Tony Luke's which has been showcased on the Food Network. It was so tasty. We had cheesesteaks with cheese whiz and cheese fries and did I mention it was so tasty? Scott and I decided it is some of the best food we have had since moving here. We came home and put McKenzie down for a nap. Scott and Abby ran to the base to take care of a couple of things. Scott said he found the cure for Abby asking a gazillion questions in the car (The whole ride to Philly and back was a constant barrage of questions). I asked what it was and he told me the cure was her falling asleep in the truck. He said it was a wonderful 15 minutes. I love she asks questions, its just I like listening to them some days more than others. Scott and Abby also took my Tahoe in to get the tire fixed. I picked up a screw somewhere and I am so glad Scott noticed it today. We had a wonderful day and  I think tomorrow will be a little boring as Scott has to go back to work :(. It has been so nice having him home all day. At least he isn't leaving on another trip that we know of yet.
