Tim's field trip yesterday was to the Monmouth Museum, a small, hands-on place on Brookdale's Lincroft campus.

The museum was closed to the public, an approach they take when there's a special group scheduled, so I wasn't able to tag along on my own.

And I wasn't in any position to chaperone, given my younger charges.

It's a small place, just a single room really. But it's just right for kids Tim's age. As I understand from moms who went, Tim had a good time and behaved.
