We only had a very short time to visit Winston-Salem. After getting pancakes at the Famous Toastery, we walked over to the Children's Museum of Winston Salem. This place was so much fun. We spent about three hours there, but we easily could have spent longer.

On the bottom floor, there was a winter wonderland area with snowmen you could decorate, igloos you could build, snowball chutes, and sock skating. There was also a strange installation built out of crocheted paracord, I think. It was enormous and looked like a beehive. Children could get inside it and climb around.

On the upper level, there was a woodland area with a fishing boat, a bridge, a stable, and a house. There were tons of reading nooks and play areas there. We also found a light wall, an art studio, a Krispy Kreme factory, and a Food Lion where kids could pretend to shop for food, put on cooking demonstrations, and act as cashier. 

I am fairly certain that Krispy Kreme was started in Winston Salem, and that is the connection. I assume the same could be said about Food Lion?

And everywhere in this place, there are little nooks where kids can climb, play with blocks, play with wooden train sets, and explore. There is no restaurant, but there is an area with vending machines and where you can eat food you bring yourself. I prefer this kind of museum because of my daughter's peanut and walnut allergies. We generally feel safer to bring our food rather than eat at a cafeteria.

Once my wife was done with work for the day, we hit the road to the next leg of my wife's work trip in Asheville, North Carolina.

Sorry the vlog for today is a little disjointed and maybe a little shakier than usual. I've got both girls by myself for most of the day during this work trip, so I'm capturing what I can. 

Thanks for watching. Leave a comment to let me know you stopped by!
