Our First Weekend (Not Househunting)

The first weekend we were here in North Carolina was a very long one spent househunting, that's all behind us now that we've found a lovely house to live in and we will hopefully be moving in towards the end of this week.

Our second weekend here we managed to get out and about to explore 'our local' area a bit more and it was really helpful to orientate ourselves (read myself) before school started. During our grand tour we took some well deserved time out of the car and took the kids to this wonderful childrens museum in Downtown Raleigh http://www.marbleskidsmuseum.org/ it was like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory for Ellie and Luke after the confines of the car and our temporary 3rd floor apartment, interesting, interactive, stimulating, hands-on and they had a fabulous time, we had to drag them away kicking and screaming (I kid you not) when the place closed with promises to return again very soon. It was so good we signed up for an annual membership there and then.

  1. Emma what a find!!! Great times had by all by the looks of things. Why can't we have something like that in Chennai to fill those boring weekends.
    Enjoy your new life and good luck with the move into the house.
