Crayola Factory and Yankee Stadium

Kristin and I have been trying to see one new thing each weekend this summer in the Philadelphia area. A few weeks ago, we were able to see 2 in one weekend.

The first was to go to the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA. Easton is about an hour from our house. It is situated on the border of NJ, and is an old industrial type town. We got to see them make crayons in a demonstration, which Natalie barely sat through, before she booked it to more of the "hands-on" type exhibits. Her favorite by far was the section where you can play with Crayola's version of Playdough.

Here is a picture of Natalie standing next to the world's largest crayon:



The second place we went was Yankee Stadium. We tried to go to a game a few months ago, but it was rained out. This was the rescheduled game for the rainout. It was the first of a subway double-header. The Mets played the Yankees in Yankee Stadium in the afternoon, and then they both traveled down to Shea and played in the Mets Stadium in the evening. Ironically, the Mets killed the Yankees at the game we were at, and then Yankees returned the favor in Shea.

Going to this game was important to me as a fan of baseball because it is the last year Yankee Stadium (the house that Ruth built) will be standing. After this season, it will be torn down. I hope Natalie can look back at these pictures one day and know that she watched a game in THE Yankee Stadium.




I took several other pictures on our trip, and they can be found here:
