A trip to the museum is always fun but now holds fond memories too.
It’s been a pretty wet Easter break here in Edinburgh. And we like many others found our way to the National Museum of Scotland with the kids. We are so lucky to have this educational, entertaining and dry venue available for free.
We have been coming here since before the Sketcher Twins could walk. I remember they loved the sensory musical room with the Chinese dragon and the dinosaur dog room upstairs. Umpteen coffee and snack breaks between running about chasing toddlers
I remember before that coming here and watching the fish swim around the grand hall.
This time we were there to see pottery from hundreds of years ago to inspire our own crafty creations back home.
There is always something new but I like seeing the familiar too. Saying hello to Dolly and marvelling at the printing press, oh and the Isle of Lewis chess set! So much to see, but I was very sad when the mini disappeared!
Just now the Science Festival is on and our two now big kids enjoyed making robots and testing them out.
