Whatever Wednesday - Baldwin Book Barn and bonus beach day

Here's the  Baldwin Book Barn in West Chester PA.  It  is a real old barn - very cool. 

and it houses over 300, 000 books.  Yes, you read that right.  Five floors of well curated used books. 

Pick a category, any category and you'll find a treasure. 

Here's the fifth floor just to  give you an idea
Very nifty old barn door
Outside view.  This was SO cool to wander.  Every coffee table book imaginable is here.  

I did not spend money because I was flying and I've been downsizing my collection.  But oh, this was so tempting.  It would be a great place to come do research for any weird topic. 


 And then Tuesday - beach day at Rehoboth Beach.  Gorgeous day.  BUT  - big alert - jellyfish water. Oh yuk - so  damn creepy.  Walking along the waves, you had to really watch  to not step on anything gunky. 

Still worth it - just sat and watched the waves, the seagulls, and cute kids making sand castles. 

Plus - bonus pizza on the boardwalk AND ice cream.   Treat day

 Books and beach - does life get any better?
