Oz in Florida
Who knew....
Before yesterday, I was NOT AWARE there was a Wizard of Oz museum in Florida. Even then.. I would have laughed at you, had you said it was in Cocoa Beach, of all places.
But, here we are.
The Lifeguard found out about it via some friends and planned a whole trip out there, yesterday. I didn't even know where we were going until we got there.. which, let me tell, triggered everything because I am not the kind of person who just wings it.
Link to some photos over on Instagram, because I don't have it in me right now to transfer the photos from the phone; resize; and upload etc. [glares at Photobucket in disappointment]
They had the Tin Man board game I have on display, not to mention quite a few collectibles I have in my possession. It wasn't a terrible layout, but the Museums student in me was having to behave and not critique the display. They have A LOT of stuff.. and A LOT of first editions. Even one full set for sale, for $25,000 <-- pocket change, y'know. o.O Some items triggered some ideas, so maybe Steve will actually want to play in 2024..........
It took us longer to drive out there and back, than we spent inside, but it was fun. Will definitely have to coordinate a field trip with bizarra and gatechic...
All for now, as I need to pretend to work this dreary Monday morning...
Love all your faces! ♥
