Every year the National Building Museum comes up with a spectacular interactive exhibit. Two years ago, they offered an indoor mini-golf course designed by 18 different architecture firms and last year was a larger than life maze, that apparently I forgot to blog about. Maybe its because I couldn't find my own way out and needed the help of my 4 year old, who was incidentally the youngest in our group and the first to find the way out! #mammabrag
This year they created a "beach" complete with ocean, white "sand," umbrellas, lounge chairs and even had their own beach side snack shop. It was pretty awesome. That said, I was more than a tad concerned about the germ factor. We arrived right as they were opening the doors and were easily one of the first twenty people in the exhibit. The balls are supposed to be self-cleaning and I've also been assured that every night, they remove and thorougly wash their balls. *giggle-snort* Sorry sorry sorry. I consider it an accomplishment to have gotten this far with only one inappropriate joke.
William canon balled right into the deep end and proceeded to sink immediately. After awkwardly pulling him out on several occasions, I decided to jump in myself. It was much more difficult to get around and pull myself out of the "ocean" than I'd thought it would be. We decided to wade around in the shallow end with our friends Mateo, Valentina and their daddy. After about 45 mins and one requisite stop at the snack shop for a popsicle and water we escaped to explore the rest of the museum.
