I’m fortunate in that my job is flexible enough to allow me to look after Amy and Evan on Monday’s and Wednesdays. I generally try and get out and about on those days, because if we just stay in the house all day we all drive each other insane.
I was sat on the stairs this morning trying to think of something to do.
“I know” I said to Amy “We could go to the Museum of Photography in Bradford”
“YES!!” shouted Amy, and started dancing around in jubilation.
I couldn’t understand her exhilaration until she turned to me with excitement in her eye and said
“I love the Museum of Toffee!!”
Something tells me she’s going to be a little disappointed.
What a fantastic business opportunity - a museum of toffee…
I hope you enjoy/enjoyed the Photography/Film museum, I took Jodie there a couple of years ago and all I got were sympathetic looks when I showed her the string puppet exhibits and “did you really watch this stuff ?”.
The iMax 3d cinema show was superb though.

I prefer the Museum of Licorice.
Actually, my son wants to go to Hershey, Pennsylvania. He thinks everything there is made of chocolate, like Willy Wonka’s factory. View all comments by Phil
So she can’t understand your accent either?

It’s called the National Media Museum now… a name I’m sure that thrills kids everywhere.

Oh that’s too cute! I do hope she has a good time anyway and that you don’t get labled “World’s worst Dad who lied when he said he would take me to a fun toffee museum!” No pressure though, right? ;o)

We were at the local science museum on Sunday. No toffee either but plenty of dinosaurs. Dinosaurs make most kids forget about candy.

That sounds like quite a museum. I would settle of the museum of caramel. View all comments by Joe
Dudelet’s favourite museums are the National Army Museum because of its soft play area and the Imperial War Museum for the admittedly awesome submarine exhibit, complete with smells and dead mouse.
Speaking of toffee, I’ve just tagged you for a food meme. View all comments by (un)relaxeddad
Well there you go, with the new name that Rol mentioned you can always say the place has been sold since the last time you were there, and now it’s just a stuffy old museum of pictures and camera junk.

Guess you need to stop and get some toffee on the way. She’ll never understand otherwise.

Gary - I used to be a regular visitor to the museum back when I lived in Bradford as it was on the way to the bus station so I popped in if I was running early. It has an excellent shop i seem to remember.
I saw Batman Begins at the IMAX. It was fantastic.
Phil - There is a Cadbury’s museum at Bournville which often tempts Kerry when we see the signs for it on the motorway.
Avitable - It’s you that have the accent matey.
Rol - I shall update my datafile.
Penelope - We didn’t end up going in the end. Went to B&Q instead. I don’t think she was overly thrilled to be honest.
Above Average Joe - I’ve looked and I can’t find a museum near us that has any dinosaurs in it.
Joe - I imagine the museum of caramel would have rather sticky floors
(un)relaxedad - Our favorite is the Royal Armories because not only is it free but they also have live jousting and falconry shows daily.
Jeff - Yeah, I’m sure that will work.
Karl - the thing is, she doesn’t even like toffee. View all comments by Dan
…where do people who work in museums go on their days off?

We took Kerry & Neil to London to the Natural History Museum when they were much the same age as Amy & Evan - although we then lived in Aldershot and it was only about an hour away. Perhaps we could all have a day trip on the train? View all comments by Grandma
Just don’t go to the Hershey museum. It is so crass. Pushing cheap chocalate at kids is the first step towards more bad things. View all comments by Jewels
Hee hee. I bet you had to buy her toffee.
