Yesterday we went to Wheaton Village with daughter #1. She had visited there and thought we should see it, too. Located in Millville, NJ, it has a spectacular glass museum, but we found the glassmaking demonstration to be the most interesting part of the tour. The pottery demonstation was also nice--but I took pottery in college so I already know quite a bit about that. (Why don't I use that in a book?) There are shops where the glass and pottery are sold, but only the marbles were in my price range. :^)
There is a real one room schoolhouse on the grounds. I always thought it would be fun to teach in a one room school. However, when I read one of the former teacher's plans which was posted on the wall, I changed my mind. The poor teacher had so much to do with so many different levels in that one room.
Here's a photo of daughter #1 on the bridge. Hubby refused to hold still for any photos and ran off whenever I lifted up the camera.
She also showed us a really wonderful used bookstore in downtown Millville. I bought three books. I wish I had more time to read!
On the way home we stopped in to visit daughter #3. So it was a long, busy day.

how fun! I do know what you mean when you go visiting, it sure is good to get home!!!
Great pics in the last few posts.
From the pics it looks like a very cute town.
A used book store in Millville! I'll have to drive out there with a few fellow dusty book lovers. We've been looking for a good used book store down here. Sounds like it would be worth the drive.
I must say, one of my favorite memories is of going to the small bookstore in our town on rainy days when we were growing up. Nothing quite like a bookstore on a rainy day.
