henry ford museum

this week, i went to the henry ford museum on friday with my friend kate and her two little kids!  kate has a membership to the museum and the village.  the littlest guy managed to sleep just about the entire museum visit...her other son is 2 and just loved the museum.

i had never quite realized what a big place the henry ford museum is.  while we were there, people were walking laps around the outside to get exercise.  we did manage to see most of it although perhaps not with the greatest detail.  

we saw the cars, trains, planes, tractors, doll houses and even an oscar meyer weinermobile!   as you can imagine, this is a 2 year old dream day.  i thought the museum had a great mix of things that could be touched and what could not be touched.  the little guy obviously wanted to get in every car, but he did end up having enough things he could climb in, like an old diner, plane, trains and inside a tractor.  a surprise hit was the dollhouses.  they are these massive dollhouses that are completely glassed in...perfect 2 year old height.  he loved peering in and seeing all the christmas decorations, dogs, babies and food.  i liked the planes probably best.  they are suspended in the air, but there is a viewing deck up above to look at the planes. 

i really liked this museum.  my first new A museum in a really long time!
