Short get away with pre K kids.

We liked Magic House and Drewes Custard so much that we visited them twice. Since we have reciprocal passes at Children's museums, it was worth it to visit the Magic House for a couple of hours over two days. Going to the Magic House on a Friday night was great since it was so uncrowded. We have been to 5 Children's Museums in total. Magic House was the best one.

The kids really liked the take-home car which the kid's meal was served in at Fitz's.

The kids went on about 8 rides at Six Flags. Since we have a season pass already, it was worth it to visit the park for a couple of hours. We all enjoyed the train ride around the park. It gave us a good overview of the rides at the park. It was also fun to experience riding in a train with a steam engine.

We also liked Drury Inn in Fenton a lot. Since the remodelling project is almost done, the hotel was really nice. The continental breakfast was also very good.
