Park time!

Daddy and Papa with the Gator got brave and decided to take the boys on an adventure.

They went to the Science museum and Pullen Park while on Christmas break.
First stop was the Science museum











Next was the coolest park ever!
A main attraction of Pullen Park is the Amusement Center.  Adored by generations of Raleigh's citizens, Pullen Park is the fifth oldest operating amusement park in the United States and the sixteenth oldest in the world.
Here's the details on this park
  • Gustave A. Dentzel Carousel (1911), which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
  • C.P. Huntington miniature train, a one-third size, near-replica of the famous locomotive of the same name.
  • Kiddie boats
  • Lake Howell, offering pedal boat rentals
  • TVLand "Andy & Opie" statue
  • Playground
  • Children's amphitheatre
  • Picnic shelters available for rent
  • Welcome Center where you may purchase ride tickets, make shelter reservations, or purchase souvenirs
  • Pullen Place Cafe serving fresh, locally produced foods and concessions














The boys had a blast. I knew they would, their daddy is the best at playing outdoors (mom's no fun, she just cleans :)
