Spring break activities, the early edition
Some schools in the area are on break this week -- and, given the state of the economy, you may be looking for things to do at home instead of traveling.
Here are a few ideas for school-aged kids. If you've got more, please add them:
--Tweens and teens 11-17 can learn scrapbooking at the Woodlawn library, at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 17. Registration required; call 410-887-1336.
--Also Tuesday, visitors to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum get $1 off admission if they're wearing green.
--Are your kids into the interactive video game Dance Dance Revolution? They can dance it out with others at the Miller branch of the Howard County Library at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 19. Registration, which can be done here, is required.
--Through March 31, kids' tickets are 2-for-1 to visit the Top of the World Observation Level at the World Trade Center at the Inner Harbor. Adults bringing kids get $1 off admission. The observation level is open Wednesday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Through this Sunday, there's a Black History exhibit on display. 410.837.VIEW (8439).

Hi - don't forget the Maryland Zoo is now open. It's supposed to be warmer at the end of the week, which is great news for all of us! Baby elephant Samson turns 1 on Thursday, and his party is Saturday from 10-Noon.
Come visit us!
