A Day Out and About

My dad is visiting from Texas.  On Friday, he, my niece and I spent the day out and about….

He wanted to visit the New England Carousel Museum.  I used to work there.  I ran their “Painted Pony” parties.  These were mainly Girl Scout troops who slept overnight at the museum.  We did crafts, and slept on the hard wood floor.  I did It for about a year.  One of my many, many jobs…

It was a good visit. They are much larger than when I worked there.  There is also a Fire History Museum on the top floor.  So you really get two museums in one….

We also went to the Iwo Jima Memorial in New Britain, CT.   It was a good day.
