This past Saturday we took a day trip to Columbus, GA. Since Gavin is so into everything Army, we wanted to take him to The National Infantry Museum for a visit before school starts. The museum was incredible, very well done, and we all enjoyed touring. If we hadn't had kids with us we probably would have stayed all day - lots to see.
Afterwards we took a quick drive through part of Ft Benning. It's an old base and it was interesting to see the old buildings with spanish tiled roofs and the housing with screened in porches. Then we visited The Columbus Museum, a historical and art museum. It was Gavin's first trip to an art museum and I think he liked it:
After lunch at Fudrucker's we stopped at Woodruff park for the kids to play in the splash pad, followed by a brief stroll on the river walk. It was fun to watch the rafters, kayakers, and zipliners. Gavin really wanted to go rafting. It was about a million degrees, we would all like to go back when its a little cooler and walk further.
Amelia really loved the splash pad, running right in and happily letting the water soak her:
