This post is a photo tribute to our two favorite places to go here in Birmingham. Shortly after we first moved in last summer, Mimi (Marcus's Mom) came to town and signed us up for a one-year membership to the McWane Science Center. We have used that membership so much! (especially during the winter and in the heat of summer) Half of the top floor of McWane is called the Itty Bitty Magic City, and it contains 30 or more stations geared toward toddlers and preschoolers: a wooden block center, a mini-market complete with cash registers, train tables, legos, a ball maze, and a mini-golf course are just a few of our favorites. And that is just half of the top floor! There are three other floors full of stuff to do as well! Two other favorites worth mentioning at McWane are the basement water world full of fresh and salt water creatures and the dinosaur area, complete with a bone excavation pit. I would have thought that during all of our visits, we would have explored every nook and cranny of its four stories, but last time we found yet another area that was new to us! McWane is a place that our boys will not tire of for many years.
The B'ham Zoo is our other favorite place to go. With its primate house, African trail, rhino encounter, sea lion show, splash zone, petting zoo and so much more, we've whiled away many hours there. It is especially fun in the spring and fall because of the lovely, mild weather. Enjoy the pictures!
