Last week Mel invited us to travel downtown to the museum via vintage trolley. Our young guide was very informative. We rode sweet Matilda (1925) to the DMA with air conditioning condensation rolling down the exterior of the windows. Oh, how nice. Rosie (1909) the oldest streetcar in daily service in North America was our ride back. She, unfortunately had no condensation. That was a little tough with four tired children. Or this mama who is showing signs of age.
It was a great experience for the children & informative for the mommies. The free DMA days for kids are crazy crowded. Taking the trolley was a perfect idea because parking would've been madness.
I didn't find the event to be very inviting. Yes, it's a museum. But a museum that invited children in after all. They don't allow beverages or food of any kind inside (checking every bag). And definitely touching the massive sculptures in the garden outside was a no-no. It's like asking a child to not lick the ice cream cone in his hand.
