Philadelphia's Magic Gardens
I first saw it on an episode of Somebody Feed Phil and thought it looked like such a cool space - when I made it to Philadelphia's Magic Gardens on a work trip last year, my verdict wasn't wrong. If you find yourself in the City of Brotherly Love, make sure you stick this place at the top of your list!

NYC: Walking along the High Line
So a slightly misleading title. I've praised the High Line before here, a 1.45 mile walk stretching from Hudson Yards to the Whitney Museum of American Art, but I also want to share the two "extensions" you can add to this walk, the East Village and Financial District.

What happened:
A pretty quiet month really. We headed to the theatre to see My Neighbour Totoro, which was our first introduction to Studio Ghibli, can you believe! It has a very impressive staging, and we really enjoyed it.

Though we didn't make it to the Guggenheim this time. And! New York has exploded with interactive art, which I've blogged about here.
