Now that spring is officially almost over and the dreaded scorching heat of summer is just around the corner, Dan and I are busy dreaming up things we want to do with Alyssa and Ryan this summer. On my list: swimming, the Philadelphia zoo, the Please Touch Museum, perhaps the Franklin Institute, and the aquarium (NJ or Baltimore? We’re not yet decided). I’d also love to go to the beach.

On Dan’s list? Whatever I drag him to. Except for the beach. He hates the beach (doesn’t like water, has bad memories of very, very bad sunburns).

P.S. Do you need home theater carpet?
