Well Sunday saw us take our first trip to the Imperial War Museum which is amazing that we have never visited before seeing as we are regular visitors at both the Manchester museum and at the Museum of Science and Industry. The building itself is pretty amazing to look at.
We had a brilliant time inside, the hands on exhibits were the highlight of the visit for Megan and Sean. The main reason for the visit however was to collect a prize which I had won through familyfriendly.org.uk. The prize was the five childrens books which the special exhibition ,called 'Once upon a Wartime' is currently centred around. These are War Horse, Carrie's War, The Machine Gunners, Little Soldier and Silver Sword.
Unfortunately although i took the email I had been sent to show to enable me to collect my prize the staff at the museum had no knowledge of my prize. However the gentleman I spoke to was very helpful and asked me to forward the email to him so that he could look into it for me. First thing on Monday I emailed the lady from familyfriendly.org.uk and told her what had happened. She emailed me back within an hour to apologise and to say she would contact them and arrange for the books to be posted to me.
All in all we had an excellent day and would thoroughly recommend a visit to the museum. Megan and Sean both said it was really good and interesting although my daughter, Megan was a tad disappointed that she didn't get her books.
