Dayton

Instead of having a birthday party for Claire this year, we decided to have a family day in Dayton, OH, on our way home.  When we arrived in Dayton, we visited the Wegerzyn Gardens.  It turned out to be a fun place to explore, despite the fact that little to nothing was blooming.  We spent the night in a hotel and visited the Boonshoft Children's Museum the following day.  Matt and I were very impressed with the museum and the kids had a blast.  We managed to stay from 9:00 until 3:00 (a very long stretch for us) and then finished our drive home, arriving around 2 am Friday morning.
