What a fun time my daughter and I had last week at the Tyler Arboretum in Media!
They have an awesome exhibit of treehouses spread throughout their 650 acres called Totally Terrific Treehouses. (although I can assure you, we didn't walk that far!)
Sixteen different artistic interpretations of a celebration of trees, and each one is completely different from the others. From a giant bird's nest hanging from lofty branches, to a house for hobbits (the photo above is from that one), it was really magical.
I thought Nia would be bored, but instead, she asked to return the next day. You'll see her in some of these views of just a few of these works of art. I want you to go and see them for yourself......

One thing about spending a summer afternoon in an arboretum: Plenty of shade!
Make sure you stop by with the kids before Totally Terrific Treehouses go away.
The exhibit runs through September 28th.

I have been the weather anchor on Good Day Philadelphia since December of 1997. It's been quite a ride, and I've been extremely fortunate. I've spent much of my time during the years taking weather on location. Those experiences have afforded me so many opportunities I never would have had otherwise. I've visited countless schools and been able to show our viewers some of the positive things going on in the classrooms in our area. We've been able to focus on the many teachers working very hard, and the students who will always remember when TV came to their school. I'm also proud of encouraging our viewers to be "tourists in their own hometown." We've taken you to special spots, like the Camden Children's Garden, the Constitution Center, and hundreds more. These are places I might have procrastinated about visiting on my own, but thanks to this job, I've been able to feel so much a part of this community as the folks out there have opened their arms. How lucky am I? My daughter has been a part of this program, periodically, from the time she was six months old. And even now, people who recognize me and Nia when we're out and about remember when I did the weather from our house on her first day of kindergarten. Now she is in fifth grade! So many of her childhood memories are preserved on Good Day, and I am grateful. We continue to make amazing upgrades to our equipment here at Fox 29, and it's exciting to work with the very latest in state-of-the-art technology. My latest thrill is this blog. I look forward to hearing from you!
