So im kind of lucky and happy, that we had to re-write this assignment. I was traveling for track most of last week so I was unable to go to the museum until Friday. But I finally got to visit. Being a former orioles fan it was not hard to find Camden yards but the museum was a entirely different story. Soon I found the entrance and my journey was set to begin. Not later than it started did I want it to end. I remember the pioneer Sprit room, and I just thought about how afraid of dolls I am. I don’t know why I just don’t do dolls. There were good things I remembered from my childhood, things like batman and superman, the fantastic four. All of this stuff was amazing, and a lot of it still looked like it could be sold today. I also saw things which I did not really have much information about, things like the old house wife magazines. I am not 100% but im pretty sure that was before my time.
It was so crazy to actually visit this museum. I saw so many things that I just assumed did not exist anymore. Well I knew they existed but I didn’t know that I would see them again. Growing up my brother and I used to watch I love Lucy on Fox. When I saw it playing on the television my mind took me right back there. This entire museum was like a walk down memory lane. I even saw G.I. Joe that took me, right back to playing in the yard with my friends. I also classic examples of things like the Rice Krispies trio back in the day. That is amazing to me that they were around back then and are still around now. That just shows me how some companies will continue to use what works. The museum also showed me how old I am getting, that things I can remember using are no longer used, but are no looked at as artifacts.
The great part of this museum is that all of these things are located right down the street in Baltimore. All of these things are wourth millions of dollars and Geppi actually shares them with the public. I think that is a great thing, and I am completely honored to have gotten a chance to seem them.

In reading your Blog, I noticed that we have a bit in common--I also grew up watching "I Love Lucy" on television. Whenever I see it, I am reminded of my childhood. It's unfortunate to hear that you are afraid of dolls--there were some creepy ones in the museum though with glass eyes that seemed real, and like they were following you around the room. And I also agree that Geppi's is a bit of Baltimore's "hidden treasure," and am glad that we got a chance to see it.
