It's been a busy, busy weekend. Fun, hectic, crazy, tiring.
Anyway, last night I took the family (+ two boys for my 16 year old daughters) to Stan Hywett Hall here in Akron Ohio. If you're not aware, Stan Hywett Hall is the former house of Frank Seiberling, the founder of Goodyear Coorporation. It's a huge house and grounds that they decorate for Christmas.
What I didn't know was that Charles Goodyear (who invented volcanized rubber and who the Goodyear Corporation is named after) was a friend of Charles Dickens. And a collector of prized first editions of the author.
While we toured the house, they had several signed first editions by Charles Dickens displayed for viewing, including A Christmas Carol.
People kept staring at me while I sort of went nuts when I saw them. So cool!!!!

Now that would have been really cool to see. Sounds like you had an amazing time. I would have been like that too. Could you imagine knowing Dickens?
Cool stuff.
