This summer is definitely defined as a staycation for us. But, there's so much stuff to see + do nearby that there's plenty to smile about!
On Friday, with a free museum pass in hand checked out from our local library, we headed north to Atlanta to a place neither of us had ever been... The Center for Puppetry Arts!
There are tons of amazing puppet artifacts here from both around the world...
& a little closer to home with fan favorites from Sesame Street + other Jim Henson creations, including the films The Dark Crystal + Labyrinth!
We actually saw a real, genuine, used-on-TV Big Bird, Fizzgig, a host of Fraggle Rock characters, + so much more!
While the actual museum is fairly small as far as museums go, the space includes a theater where fancy puppet shows are performed, workshop space where kids can create their own puppet friends, a museum shop, + a playground. Dan & I both agree we'd love to take kids someday in the future. The nostalgia makes it fun for the adults, too, as you can see!
