These cooler May Gray days are perfect for museums in 35 different ways! The BIG Exchange starts TODAY! That means you can exchange your museum membership for reciprocal admission at one of 35 participating museums. May 1st-18th. Details from San Diego Museum Council. If you’re not already a member at one of the museums, I noted the cost below for family memberships ($) to our favorite places for kids 💙 Our top pick is the Model Railroad Museum at Balboa Park because it’s the cheapest and my kids LOVE the train play room (above) .

I'm a SAHM of 2 boys, but we rarely "stay at home". They have sooo much energy that we HAVE to get outside to burn it off. Everyday is an adventure; whether we find new places, go back to our favorites or even just a trip to Costco!
