We had a five day weekend last week and did absolutely nothing . . . and it was great! So many times after a vacation we've said that we need to take time off and just stay home, but we never did. But, as our budget is tight and traveling wasn't an option this month, we were finally given the opportunity to enjoy a "stay-cation" and were quite pleased with the result. Five days of sleeping in late, brunching, napping, and evenings at the park. We did take one outing into Glasgow to explore one of the many free museums there.
The Riverside Museum is on the banks of the River Clyde and boasts the permanent anchorage of the Tall Ship, originally built in the 1800's. It was quite fun to explore every level of it and we were shocked to see how much space was below deck! At the very bottom was a children's play area and pirate dress ups but the best part of the whole thing was getting to swab the decks- seriously the kids could have done this for hours.
The museum is sometimes called the Transport Museum as it houses all kinds of historical vehicles- some of the very first automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, trains, double decker buses, trolleys, etc... There was quite a lot to see and a little model street with shops and pub and fancy dress to play in.
