Hobo Mama: Museum of History & Industry: Much more fun than it sounds

Wednesday, October 7, 2015

I feel like MOHAI Seattle
has an unfortunate name,
because doesn't it sound like a snoozefest?

But, no!

It's one of our favorite museums,
and we scored a free library pass.

(Yes, we're all about the free library passes nowadays.)

Here's a video of all our experiences:

And here are some of my Instagram snaps
from the day:

I love how circumspect they're being about actually calling these women prostitutes. #mohai

By far Mikko's favorite place at any museum: the cafe. He's just read that this Diet Coke has 0 crabs, which is good, because I'm on a low-crab diet. #mohai
