See, that's how they make crayons!

On our way west from New Jersey, we stopped in Easton, Pa., home of the Crayola Factory. It turns out this "Factory" is more like a Crayola-themed children's museum instead of the actual factory I was imagining, but we still felt we got our money's worth out of the visit. There was a live show within the museum demonstrating the crayon-making process, which I found fascinating and Troy and the kids did not. For my interest in this whole business, I blame Mr. Rogers and the film he showed about how crayons are made, and apparently so does Crayola since they had his sweater framed on the wall next to a blurb about his 1996 visit. Take that! Boom!
