Weird Stuff in Texas
« on: January 26, 2019, 01:25:01 PM »
Over the Christmas break, I went out with my family to see nearby places listed on Atlas Obscura's website. We had a great few days, most of the time in the car spent chatting and having fun that way, but spending 5-10 mins at each site (at least... we spent much longer than that at the Toilet Seat Museum!) gave us even more to talk about and some new, shared experiences which help to build up those family bonds.

Here's my videologue of the sites...

Since any city where the Congress met was a "capitol", Trenton was such for two months at the end of 1784.

That is correct, but Trenton was not the "original".  The first was Philadelphia.

Now that's a big eye! And it's blue too...I like blue eyes...although I do prefer that they'd be attached to girls though...

Just "attached" is fine with me. :)
