this is quite possibly the greatest museum on the planet.

they have (in no particular order) the “walking piano” from big, a huge basement devoted to recreating wonderland (as in alice, not val-kilmer-as-porn-star), and an entire wing dedicated to kids versions of big people places (grocery store, kitchen, gas station, etc).

seriously, this museum alone made philly worth the trip.

travel: philadelphia, pa

with only a couple days before the lady sparkler starts her new gig, we decided to slip out of town for the weekend. (being at a non-profit, my vacation policy is always much more “robust” than hers, it seemed crazy not to take some time off when it wouldn’t count against mommy’s vacation balance.)

and with that, i bring you my suggestions for philly’s next ad campaign based on our experience:

  • philly: it’s a heck of a lot cheaper than trying to book something in the mountains or the beach on six days’ notice.
  • philly: it’s less hot than both (a) texas, and (b) the face of the sun.
  • philly: it’s not the hell hole you remember from your junior high school field trip.
  • philly: we have margaritas.

seriously, tho. we’re pretty excited.

rye beach, n.h.

there are just about 1,000 things that the lady sparkler and i love about new england — family, seafood, what passes up there for a “hot” day — but near the top is the coast.

we spent many most of our trips up her out on a boat of some kind or other, and even when we were landlocked there was always a trip to petey’s (on the water) for seafood.

and so, on the way out of town, we stop at petey’s for a little take out seafood … and ate it on the hood of our rental car while baby sparklet slept in the back seat.

if it gets much better than this, i’m a little nervous to see what that looks like.
