The What to do this Weekend

Posted on | August 22, 2008 | Comments Off

It is going to be so nice out this weekend, you really shouldn’t be indoors.

So here are a couple of quick pointers…

…go to the Schulykill Nature Center. I don’t have any events in mind, but you should go. Stop watching the Olympics and go out and enjoy nature.

…on that note, visit the model train display at the Morris Arboretum. This year, the Garden Railway is celebrating the “Architecture Wonders of the World” and, while the Taj Mahal isn’t exactly the same when its made of bark, leaves, twigs and acorns…you aren’t exactly traveling to India this summer, either.

…go to Cape May and see the birds. The Cape May Observatory has two early morning programs on Saturday and Sunday this weekend, 7 am to 9 am. (No pre-registration required. Cost: $6 members; $10 non-members.), check the link for details. They area also hosting a “HUMMINGBIRD EXTRAVAGANZA” on Saturday, from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm, which is free. Go down, look at the hummingbirds, watch the sunset and head into town for dinner. There, I’ve got your Saturday all planned.

That’s it for now, have a nice weekend.
