We recently took the kids for the day to The Corning Museum of Glass. It was actually our 11th wedding anniversary.

It gets us into Corning, Roberson, and about 200 other places for free for a year. Good deal especially in the cold months when we get bored.
What was great about this place is we got exhausted before we got bored. Spent about 5 hours there.
Malachi ( my wise guy) looks at these tags and says "What, are they giving away kids here?"

We will be going back for sure.
