i hope my fellow americans had a relaxing labor day (happy labor day! from those swell folks who brought you the weekend :D ) and that the weather was good for enjoying it. my sister and i went to the decordova museum, because most of it is outdoors and you can bring food. so we picnicked and saw art and it was a lovely way to spend the day.
