Archeon

Gisteren zijn Maaike, Marinka, Tanja en ik met al onze kinderen naar het
Archeon geweest. Het was geweldig, al werkte het weer niet helemaal mee. De fooooootoooooos! :-)


Yesterday 3 friends and me took our kids to Archeon. Archeon is an odd mixture between a museum and a theme park, based upon the history of Holland. Buildings and houses have been built to mimic the Neanderthal age, the bronze age, the iron age, the roman age and the middle ages. There was a large playground where we had a picnic, and the kids did all sorts of cool things like make beeswax candles in a middle-ages-house, learn how to march in the roman army, try on all sorts of armour, climb into and investigate a roman ship, get tattoos painted on the by cavemen, row in a canoe made out of a hollow tree, pretend to me knights, get a massage in a roman bath house... but the absolute highlight of the day was a real gladiator fight in a roman arena. It rocked, we had a GREAT time, and my mids, both being history geeks, have not stopped talking about it yet :-)
