Now I know many of you will have little to no time to go exploring in this wonderful city I call home, but if you do have a little time, I figured I'd post some things to do, if you are interested. I listed the contact information for most of these so you can just print this and bring it with.
City Museum - It's a big kids playground. Has a ball pit, fake caves to crawl through, huge slides (7 stories!), a Ferris wheel on the roof, a plane suspended in the air you can crawl to... just lots to do if you're looking for something active. There is a bar in the facility.

Lemp Mansion - An actual haunted mansion. Discovery did their ghost hunters thing there awhile ago. It's a restaurant (and inn). The food is the best food I have ever had. Pricey but sooo worth it.
