There are so many fabulous things for families to do in our neck of the woods, and this summer we are hell bent on enjoying all of them. On Sunday, which was supposed to be a rainy day, we decided to take the kids out to Shelburne Museum. This year's travelling exhibit is called Full Throttle, and features tons of motorcycles: vintage, custom, and just plain weird. We figured we'd just stay inside, check out all the motorcycles, and then let our boy check out the Ticonderoga, a full sized steam ship that's permanently grounded on the museum property.

We did not expect what we got, which was a gorgeous, sunny day. Not only did we see (and enjoy!) the motorcycle exhibit and the Ticonderoga, but we got to check out the blacksmith, the horse barn and take a few carousel rides. Having been to the Shelburne Museum on a few "adults only" trips, I was a bit unsure how it would go over with the kids. I didn't need to worry, as everyone had a spectacular time.

So spectacular, in fact, that we rolled our single day admission into a family pass. That's right, we're now Shelburne Museum members, free to visit any old time we choose. Given the fun we all had, I expect they'll be seeing a lot of us this summer. And now I feel less guilty that my camera battery died immediately after taking the first picture of the motorcycles :)

Next on the summer fun list...the drive-in!! I hope it's as successful as our day at the museum.
