It's Official - I'm an Antique


While today wasn't really the start of our vacation, it was Monday which meant it was the first day we didn't have to go to work. We took the opportunity to head to Adamstown, PA, self-proclaimed "Antiques Capital USA". We are attempting to find something to put on the ledge above the front door - that horrible place that no one really notices because it's so high up, but looks terribly empty when you do look at it. We did manage to get a few ideas, but without the confidence to know how they would look (and without a return policy!) we decided it was best to come home, put a few varying sized objects on the ledge and see what looked good. However, in our shopping we have witnessed numerous items from our childhoods. Which makes it official - we're antiques. Course I also saw a 3 foot plastic Pete's Wicked Ale bottle for sale and I figure there's no way that's truly an antique, so clearly my childhood memories, and thus me, are not either!!!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
