Some people do 10 day all-inclusive sunny resort style vacations… We go to Rochester, NY and visit the Museum of Play and Toy Hall of Fame instead!
Bright and early on a cold and blustery January day we hit the road (joined by another family of friends) and aimed for the border. After a cheerful verbal exchange (!) with the border guard we flew down the Interstate in excited anticipation of what lay ahead.
We arrived!
And we jumped right in… finding ourselves on Sesame Street… brought to you by the letters F, U, and N!
One of the hi-lites for us was the child sized replica of a grocery store. You (or your kids, I suppose) could shop for groceries, pretend to be the cashier, the customer, or even the produce manager. Clean up aisle 5! After scanning in your groceries you got to print out a receipt with your choices. I was having too much fun to snap more pictures… but click here to see a virtual tour. It’s amazing how much fun it is pretending to shop for groceries compared to the real thing!
Next was the area dedicated to rotating exhibits. When we were there it was a space dedicated to the game of football. Right now there is a Wizard of Oz theme!
Next it was into the National Toy Hall of Fame. This was fun and informative. Here’s a few hi-lites I snapped. To see a summary of the inductees click here.
Watch for What We Did On Our Christmas Vacation (part deux) coming soon. We’ll visit the “eGameRevolution”, the “Reading Adventureland” and we’ll have dinner at Cracker Barrel! Will I order fried chicken livers? Will the hotel reservation work out? Will I dare post the video of Rebecca playing “Dance Dance Revolution?”
