Can You Tell Me How to Get... How to Get to Sesame Street?

sunny day... sweeping the clouds away... on my way to where the air is sweet... can you tell me how to get... how to get to sesame street?

we went to sesame place recently. and unexpectedly. meaning no plans to go there but suddenly found ourselves there. we slept the previous night without any plans of going to pennsylvania and woke up the following day thinking, "let's go to sesame place!"

if there is one thing i love about living in canada, it is the relative ease by which we can see new places. you can just literally grab your bags and go.

and so we headed to pennsylvania which is about 9 hours from toronto. and went to see big bird, elmo and the rest of the gang. the place was nice. though not as big as disneyland.



plant sculptures showcasing the different sesame street characters are scattered around the park.



and they also had their own version of the hollywood walk of fame where each of the characters had either their hands or feet immortalized.



almost half the park is devoted to water fun which the kids would have enjoyed had we brought their swimsuits. but since it was an impromptu outing without prior research, we didn't know we had to bring their swimsuits.

so we stayed dry. or at least we tried to stay dry. but after lunch, the rain poured. and sesame had to close most of their rides as well as the water park (not that they had a lot of rides). and cancel the parade too.

so we amused ourselves taking photos with the characters roaming around. and watched indoor shows. and ate. and took more photos.

its a good thing they have the sunny day guarantee and gave us a free day pass to come back anytime within the year. so, next time the kids get bored, guess where we are going? sesame place!

and the highlight of the trip? hubby dancing pearly shells with the whole gang of sesame street. check it out!
