So I'm trying again, and the curse of the non posting blog post appears to have been lifted!!
We take a walk (okay a drive) down memory lane, past Dad's old office and Gaffers Pub to Edison's recently reopened birth place, a National Historic Park. The junior ranger program is stupendous, really emphasizing the creative side of Thomas Edison. The kids are encouraged to ask questions and enlist "mukkers" to solve the problems with them. Mukkers were Thomas Edison's workers who messed around in the factory and came up with all sorts of solutions and inventions! Christopher and Danny really enjoy the trip and the girls have fun with the free audio tour. Dad makes and appearance when the park ranger puts on an old wax cylinder recording so we can hear how clear it still sounds, and the song is "When Irish Eyes are Smiling" fills the music room. Oh Dad, I miss you so much!
