This place is amazing! And filled with books - so amazing! Hidden doors, 100 rooms- everything on sale- learned about it from atlas obscura. Trying to decide if I should visit Kramer‘s bookstore before heading home.

Chrissyreadit @Bookwormjillk it is fun! But we were so tired after! 5y
LeahBergen Cool! 5y
Chrissyreadit @LeahBergen I saw so many intriguing covers and thought of you- but it was a little overwhelming. So many rooms and tiny spaces and no time to just sit and enjoy the shelves one book at a time 5y

#SelfImprovementSept #WhatYouLove #MuseumDay is almost here. Last year, we went to small natural history museum w/dinosaur exhibit. Lots of fun. Different museums participate from year to year. You have to sign up. Each person can bring one guest, so both my husband and I signed up so that one of us could bring our son. Definitely check it out. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/museumday/museum-day-2019/ @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620
