Transit Museum

Question:
"If there was one outfit Quinn would wear every day, what would it be?"

Answer:
"See you later, Alligator!" with striped pants. She looks goofy in the pants, and it's TECHNICALLY sorta more "boy", but I was soooooo sick of seeing her in pinks and purples, and I loved the green of the onesie. But she doesn't really like to wear the onesie if she can't also wear the striped pants.



As you can see, some of the "much loved" 18 month outfits are getting small. She's mostly 24 month/2T tops. 18 month pants or 24 month rolled about 4 times. I'm hoping she doesn't take after her cousin Alex and stay short for a few years! I'd like some new wardrobe sometime! :)

Zoo plans fell through as it took longer to fix the computer and my car than anticipated. And the "children's zoo" with more interactive exhibits for younger kids isn't open until April. SO, instead of taking a trip to the Bronx to hopefully have Quinn be in a good enough mood to enjoy herself (with rain forcasted); we decided to head to the NYC Transit Museum right here in Brooklyn.

It was actually very interesting and pretty cool. They had old trains set up up that you could see with stories about them and when they were used. They had buses and bridges and subway construction information. It was all worth the couple hour visit and $10! And Quinn ran around for 90% of the time. The section with the real trains was a "working" station with voltage, so I didn't feel so comfortable letting her wander aimlessly down there.



Quinn was even able to be a metro worker for awhile and hand out tokens (as they were "back in the day"). There weren't actually tokens either, but it was still pretty neat!
