How many of you remember playing with Spirograph as a child? What about watching your children and/or grandchildren play with it? You know, it hasn’t changed much over the years and is still providing hours upon hours of fun to both adults and children.

Well, last year down in Philadelphia (Philly) they had an exhibit featuring Spirograph Art. People were able to try out and design their own floor art and some of this art ended up being hung up all over the city as street art. How cool is that?

Can you imagine spending hours on a floor mat making your own super cool design? Check out all of those colors that were used: Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Black, Purple, etc. I think that would be totally fun to do, but I would probably get tired out after an hour or two doing it and definitely would need some help from others!

If this type of exhibit would come to a city near you, would you want to participate? Would you ever want to create your own floor, wall or street art with Spirograph? I wish I would of gotten a few more photos of this, because some of the designs that were created and hanging up were incredible!

How many of you have a fear of driving over super big bridges? For those of you who do, do you have this same fear when your riding as a passenger or only if you’re driving?

We live 90 minutes from Philadelphia in Pennsylvania and one thing I hate every time we go down to Philly or have to drive through Philly to go to the Jersey Shore is crossing one of the city’s super big bridges. Seriously, I hate them!

I have had a big bridge phobia – Gephyrophobia – since I was a small child. I’m okay with the little bridges, but big bridges that go over large bodies of water and are multi-lane, super-highways, well…I don’t dig those at all. Matter of fact, I have to take anti-anxiety medication about 10-15 minutes before we hit either one of those bridges in Philly.

The Walt Whitman Bridge runs through downtown Philadelphia and is the scariest of the bridges in Philly. The Commodore Barry Bridge runs through the southern area of the city and isn’t quite as scary. BOTH are multi-lanes and BOTH are toll bridges, that’s part of the issue because travelers are never in their correct lanes and go back & forth lane hopping as you’re going across. UGH!!! The tractor trailers make it even worse.

So, for our travel feature this week I thought I would show you two of the bridges that are located in Philly Pennsylvania and I would admit to all of you that I have a big bridge phobia! Do you? If so, tell me about it!
