One of the many reasons I love the blogosphere is when it introduces me to really magical places and really lovely people. Several years ago, someone had recommended Katy Elliott's blog to me, and I remember seeing The Marston House on it. I think I later saw in on another favorite blog, Designtripper. I spoke to the owners at one point, but was unable to visit as they are only open from May to October. Well last year I was able to visit it with Clara, right before the 4th of July. We spent two nights there (it's in Wiscasset), and not only did we love the Marston House, but we fell in love with the owners, Sharon and Paul Mrozinski. They couldn't be kinder, or more interesting, or have better taste. The rooms they let are so tastefully appointed, and the basket of breakfast is perfect. It's just up the street from Red's, the lobster roll place that causes traffic jams and always has a line. There are plenty of great things to do in the area--so this is a good base. We returned later in August, as I wanted Matt to meet Sharon and Paul, and we found even more things we loved in the area. I promise to write about our November stay with Sharon and Paul in their apartment in France, which they rent out. Beautiful.

The Best Museum Ever
Clara proclaimed the Please Touch Museum "the best ever", until the next day, when The Franklin Institute took the title. See my post on the Philadelphia lowdown for details on our visit.

A Pretty Perfect Museum in Denmark
One of the loveliest museums I've ever been to was the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art outside of Copenhagen in Denmark. It's about 45 minutes from Copenhagen, and besides its great art collection, it has a lovely grass hill to roll down, beautiful views to the sea, and a three story children's wing.
