In fact, looking at the pictures, it's hilarious to see how much they "traveled" over the course of our four-hour stay:
After hopping on the bus
(and getting behind the steering wheel)
the girls visited a bakers
a grocery store
a stream
a beach
and many other environments.
They held hands
and drew pictures
and towards the end of the day, they discovered the world of dance. There's this great exhibit with a large screen that plays footage of different culturally-specific dance performances; kids can perform on the "stage" in front of the screen for an audience on the other side of the curtains. The girls loved the Irish step dancers in particular, and the grown ups loved the chance to sit down for a few minutes!
(As a related aside, I will mention that Clio loves So You Think You Can Dance. On the morning of her birthday we asked if she wanted to watch some special fireworks (we taped the Macy's display the night before); she watched for about 2 seconds and then announced, "I want to watch the dancing." So far, she prefers ballroom and ballet to hip hop and contemporary, but any girl in a pink costume wins her over promptly.)
Speaking of pink dresses, please note Clio's darling tennis-inspired Ralph Lauren number; a gift from my mother, Clio wore this for three days straight (I didn't let her sleep in it as desired the second night, but got it into the washing machine instead!)
On the way home from the museum, Clio conked right out in the car. I'd say a good time was had by all!

Like Clio, I love So You Think You Can Dance. Elias watched part of it with me once but when he insisted on copy-catting the Mary Murphy scream I decided the first time would also be the last.
