This summer is passing by so quickly! Anyway, I have already mentioned some of the free museums that we had the pleasure of visiting, but I also wanted to share about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marbleskidsmuseum.org\/\">Marbles Kids Museum<\/a>. There is an admission fee for this children\u2019s museum, but it is only $5 per person, which means that a family of 4 can visit for $20. That is reasonable to me\u2026especially considering the fact that adult admission at some of my favorite NYC museums for children charge over twice as much for adult admissions.<\/p>\n<p>There is so much for the kids to enjoy at Marbles Kids Museum. We had to pull Michael and Sean away. I will admit that my guys were the ones who had to pull <strong>me<\/strong> away from the open area with the hula-hoops and jump ropes. (Yes, I was reverting back to childhood!) I love hands-on museums where the kids can both look and touch in order to learn concepts and this museum visit accomplished that. Don\u2019t take my word for it though\u2026take a peek at the pictures and video clips in this short video:<\/p>\n<p><\/p><center><object width=\"500\" height=\"375\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/xkH5dxRLiis?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/xkH5dxRLiis?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/object><\/center><br>\n<em><br>\nThanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitraleigh.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau<\/a> for including this outing in our itinerary for the weekend!<\/em>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can barely believe that it has been a few weeks since our family visited North Carolina on our mini media trip.
