A few weeks ago I wandered down to the city of Philadelphia to visit my youngest daughter Lynsie. She moved there a few years ago and ever since then it's been one of my favorite places to explore. Each time I go we find new and interesting things to do. This particular visit took place on a perfect Indian summer day {the kind that makes you want to stay outside all day!} so we ventured down to South Street to check out Philadelphia's Magical Gardens. This absolutely fascinating museum, which spans half a block on South Street, was created by award-winning mosaic mural artist Isaiah Zagar. The beautiful mosaics covering the walls, floors and ceilings of the indoor and outdoor galleries and installations are made from a collection of found objects ranging from bicycle wheels, dishes and colorful ceramic pieces to glass bottles and mirrors. It is truly awe inspiring and an amazing sight to behold. We wandered around not knowing where to look first. Every inch of the place seemed to have a story so we took our time and slowly strolled through what is a truly unique attraction. The $10 ticket was well worth the price and you are welcome to go in and out all day so you can take a lunch or shopping break. I guarantee when you go back in you will see things you hadn't noticed before. A definite must see if you enjoy Philly and plan to be in the South Street area! So when you can, take a day, be spontaneous and have some fun!

Enjoy!
