We have been back home a little over a week and rainy weather has followed us back home. In the beginning it didn't matter since we were busy getting back to our routines, doing laundry, finishing up school, playing with toys etc.
Last Friday I couldn't take the rain anymore. I decided to head out no matter what since the kids and I were getting claustrophobic. Even with rain (no surprise there) in the forecast we were heading out. We took advantage of our local library and checked out a couple of passes to local museums on the coast and made a day out of it on Friday. We packed raincoats, umbrellas, snacks and headed out into the rainy world.
Our first stop was
Seacoast Science Museum. It is a small museum on the shore but with plenty of educational material for the kids (and adults).
One of the the kids favorite thing was the touch and feel water tank with live sea creatures.

| Blue crab. The museum also has a blue lobster but that one was hiding from us while we were there. |
 |
| The boys with whale's teeth. |
 |
| Whale's skeleton. |
 |
| Outside waiting for the rain. As you can see the clouds were everywhere. |
 |
| Sam trying to pick up an anchor. |

| I did miss the smell of the ocean while we were gone. Now if the sun would come out the summer would be almost here :) |
