• Travel & Vacation: Adventure Science Center (Nashville, TN)

    P1110193c

    During our recent visit to Nashville we went to the Adventure Science Center.  The kids LOVED it!  It was a lot of fun hanging out, playing, and learning with the kids for several hours.  We were there when it opened that morning and left when it was closing 7 hours later, I would say it was a hit with the kids!  Even better is our whole family got in free (WOOHOO) because we are members of our local Roper Mountain Science Center in Greenville and the museums are part of the same affiliation.

    It’s probably been awhile since Jake’s been on a 3 story jungle gym.  He was a good sport and allow the girls to “show him around!”
