For this week our challenge was to find free Hotspots in our town, our hotspots included London and Brighton.
To get to London we went on the train.
Once we were in London we had to get on the tube.
In London we visited Nathaniel's grandparents and while we were there we decided to visit a couple of museums.
Welcome to the Wellcome Collection.
There are a couple of tables in the exhibition, in these tables there are Postcards with words written on them. The idea is to draw one of the words. Obviously Nathaniel is a little young to do this but he really enjoys drawing while watching daddy draw.
Looking at the bugs. Eww!
Here Nathaniel is looking at blocks that spell Dyslexia
There were lots of interesting things to look at that were at bit old for Nathaniel but he really enjoyed wandering around. There are a couple of video screens which kept him entertained along with an exhibit with an eye that opens and closes when it senses people are close. Nathaniel was scared of this but continually wanted to look at it.
For older children they have a free Young Explorer Pack. Inside the pack there is a booklet with different activities to carry out, stickers, a tie on moustache, a pencil, some string and Fimo. The stickers were a big hit with Nathaniel, he had great fun sticking on the heart, lungs and intestine in roughly the correct place
After visiting the Wellcome Collection, we walked round to the British Museum. The exhibit we visited was the Pompeii and Herculaneum exhibit which was only free to us due to Nathaniels Mummy having a Membership card. However, Nathaniel enjoys looking at the horse statue in the main entrance. As you can see Nathaniel fell asleep on the way there so we walked around the exhibit and then left to get some lunch.
For the Bank Holiday Weekend we stayed in Brighton
On Saturday it was Free Comic book day.
We visited the comic shop to pickup my comics and for Nathaniel to collect the childrens free comics.
After Collecting the comics we watched some of the Children's Parade and then it started to rain so we went for a walk and went into the craft fair at the Quaker House.
Sunday was a much nicer day so we decided to go for a picnic and walk in Lewes.
We arrived at our picnic spot and Nathaniel had decided to take a nap.
Nathaniel enjoyed our first picnic of the year
After the picnic Nathaniel decided to go for a walk where he spotted a cat.

We really enjoyed visiting free hot spots in and around Brighton and while visiting London. There were many more to visit as well.
