The Children's Museum of Maine
_{by L.L. Beckius, Age 5}

Most moms eagerly anticipate baby's first word or step. I've been dreaming about baby's first Web article since I brought my daughter home from the hospital! My soon-to-be first grader recently contributed her first review. I couldn't be prouder!

While I toured Victoria Mansion in Portland, Maine, earlier this month, my husband and daughter spent two hours at the Children's Museum of Maine, an exceedingly kid-friendly attraction in the heart of this coastal city. My daughter couldn't wait to tell me all about her adventures. Here is her first-hand account of what it was like to play and learn at the Children's Museum of Maine.
