Bleh. It's just bleh....
For the past two days the weather has been consistently dousing us by raining....no pouring, buckets of cold, feet soaking, body drenching, heavy spring rain on us day in and day out.
Today was no better. It was one of those days when I really wanted to spend the whole day curled up in my big warm bed, with music blasting from an open computer, a good book in one hand and cup of hot tea steaming within reach. And I would have spent my entire day in this toasty bliss, if it weren't for my last minute decision to brave the storm and go for a day trip into Bellingham with some of my family. A day trip which turned out to be one of the best rainy day field trips I have ever been on.
We went to a place called the Mindport in downtown Bellingham, newly discovered by my family and one of their new favorites. I had never been to the Mindport before and was curious to find out what was so fascinating about this place. The name alone was intriguing. I was amazed. For just two dollars we were allowed admittance into probably one of the best children's museums I have ever been in. Everything was completely hands on and a beautiful example of what is created when art meets science. I think everything in the Mindport was made by local people from Bellingham. Everything was so beautiful and so creative, I almost didn't want to leave, but the doughnut shop just down the street was calling, so we left and walked across the street to the local Rocket Doughnuts. Hot Latte's and a warm maple bacon topped doughnut for me (I just had to try it) were a nice treat. It's amazing what sugar and caffeine can do to lift your spirits!
Spring has officially arrived and right now, I couldn't be happier:)
