Joyful Family Moments and Competition to Win £100 Virgin Experience Voucher

We absolutely love family days out and we look forward to our family adventures, exploring our local area and visiting places far away. As long as we are together, we always have an amazing time.

In a few weeks, we will become a family of four and, although we are all excited, we are aware that the family dynamics might change once the new baby arrives.  As February half-term was our last school holiday before the baby comes, we made the most of it by going on different adventures.

During our family day out, we created our own unique Oreo cookie quest to celebrate the launch of The Great Oreo Cookie Quest, an on-pack competition and interactive cookie quest activity that you can take part when you buy promotional packs in store. You can win wonderfilled prizes, including a family trip to California, by following the instructions on pack.

Throughout our blog post, keep an eye out for hidden Oreo cookies in the pictures.

National Maritime Museum

A couple of years ago, little man went to the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich with his school and he absolutely loved it. He wanted to explore it one more time and show us around. I must say, it is one of the best museums I have ever been to. It is very interactive, fun and hands on.

There are two children’s gallery: Ahoy! gallery for under 7s and All Hands gallery for 6 to 12 years old. At the Ahoy! children’s gallery, little man had the opportunity to dress up as a sailor and see how they lived when they were out in the sea.

He also went aboard of the eight metre high mast of SS Rawalpindi, played with magnetic boats, sold fish at the market and explored pirate’s treasures.

Little man said that he can’t wait to take his baby brother to the Ahoy! Gallery once he is born. It is perfect for young children as it is interactive.

At the All Hands gallery, you can explore maritime skills and technologies, such as firing a cannon and shooting down a pirate ship. Little man really enjoyed loading cargo in the port and exploring the ship Seahorse.

As he enjoys helping out in the kitchen at home, he had fun cooking in the galley, the kitchen on board ship, and learning that food was cooked in copper or iron pots and usually boiled or stewed.

Biscuits were popular in ships as they kept longer than bread. Sadly they were not as tasty as Oreo cookies as they were simply made of flour and water. As rats were common on board, they would usually eat any food they could find, leaving the sailors hungry.

Children also have the chance to learn how to send a message in the Morse code, which uses pulses of electricity. Although it was an enjoyable experience, we were grateful for modern technology as it took us ages to send a simple word.

British Museum

Little man has been learning about Egypt at school and hubby is Greek, so the British Museum seemed like the perfect place to explore.

When we arrived, we were greeted by “The Townley Caryatid”, which is a female figure that stand in place of columns, found in Greek and Roman architecture. This statue was found around 1585-90, near the Via Appia outside Rome.

Money has always been one of little man’s interests. He learned maths really quickly so he could count his coins and keep track of his savings. The Citi Money Gallery was our next stop, as it displays money around the world, from around 4000 years ago until today. It was interesting to learn that Cypriot kingdoms issued coins from around 530 BC to 310 BC.  

Once we have explored the Greek galleries, we moved on to Ancient Egypt, looking at mummies, hieroglyphs and canopic jars. Egyptians believed that canopic jars protected their liver, lungs, stomach and intestines. Once they died and were mummified, the internal organs were wrapped and placed inside the jars.  

We had such a wonderful family time, building precious memories and joyful family moments. If you would like to do the same, make sure to enter our Oreo Cookie Quest competition as you can win a £100 Virgin Experience voucher to put towards a family day out. Where would you go?
