OH to PA...

After leaving my niece's, our day was one of mostly driving with some fun stops along the way.

This was a must stop... America's #1 Fireworks Store (honestly, I never realized there was a competition). "Whether you're a first-timer or a backyard pro, Phantom has the resources to help you buy smarter, shoot safer, and put on the best fireworks show."

The selection was mindblowing!

This package would set you back $1299. That must be some kind of show.

The one that really surprised us was the $1599 Grounds for Divorce Assortment. "The biggest assortment from the premier fireworks manufacturer. 782 shots with 8000 grams of powder! Includes 9 Brothers Heavyweights 500 grams cakes (including a zipper finale cake), 6 of Brothers best 200 grams cakes, 2 of their best 350 gram cakes, and 24 hard-hitting Quest 60-gram canister artillery shells. No fountains, no toys, all aerial fireworks!"

I was intrigued by this Ignite Firing System. "Let's face it, running around with a lighter or torch makes it challenging to create the perfect show. Instead, what if you could design your show in advance with perfect synchronization, including shooting multiple fireworks from different locations at the same time. For showtime, press one button, sit back and watch your creation come to life. With IGNITE, you can get up your game and deliver the WOW with the latest in wireless technology."

We're in Frank Lloyd Wright country. I'm so excited.

So far, this trip has been one of great timing and fortuitous coincidences. We spotted a series of these sculptures around the Visitor Center. They looked so very familiar.

Turns out, they were very familiar. This is me with the artist, Phillip Glashoff. Before his passing, Mr. Glashoff invited the public to his Sculpture Ranch (link to that visit). How weird that a Northern California artist was found here in PA.
