Portland has the coolest children's museum. I had just arrived and was trying to figure out what to do with two little ones on a rainy day. The Children's museum saved my sanity. I dragged my friend Courtney along for the adventure. Luckily for me Courtney is both a great sport and good with kids. The museum has several different themed rooms, there's a music room with instruments for the kids to play, a building room, a grocery store with plastic food that you can then take to the kitchen and "cook" with. Kaiya's favorite room was the water room, where she got to race rubber duckies. They also have a baby room where little crawlers can play with out parents worrying that the older kids will trample them. Lotus Maria was in heaven. All in all it made for good night sleeps all around, and that was really my priority.
