    I really enjoy going to a toy store in downtown.  It makes for a much more pleasant experience that driving to a suburban strip mall!  Last year my husband and I met, got coffee, and then walked over and had a “date” of sorts picking out the kid’s Christmas presents.

    I haven’t been to Finnegan’s since i was a young person myself and now that i have a child, I am so excited to take my daughter there and let her take it all in.  Oh, the wonder.
