The best way to explore Seattle's attractions with kids? Head out on one of the "free days." You'll be able to visit for a short time, introduce your child to the protocol of museum-going and then duck out if you see a tantrum brewing on the horizon. I would suggest starting out with a quick tour --20 or 40 minutes -- and working your way up.

Every month, museums across the city open their doors on First Thursday, and parents and tots can enter for free. And every month, I'll bring you the best aspects of a new museum. This month, the spotlight is on the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, located at the University of Washington.

Eating outdoors with your kids may be among one of the warm season's greatest pleasures. Whether you take a pack of hot dogs to a shelter at the beach or load a backpack full of sandwiches and hit the trail, picnics are a great way to get outside and commune with nature.

Last fall, my son asked how long he would have to take swim lessons. My answer? Until he mastered the basic strokes and his teacher felt he was safe in the water.

The
Pottery Barn family just got a little bit bigger. Its newest addition is
Threads, a small, boutique-style shop that sells clothing, gifts and accessories for babies aged newborn to three years. With just two stores, one in New York and one recently opened at
Bellevue Square, Threads pays attention to the little things -- and I don't just mean the babies.
