Top Ten Toys and Neptune Coffee.

Ah, sigh, the days of the sunny farmers markets and the outdoors may soon be behind us, so I am on the lookout for some new and indoorish activities for Fall. The last time it went dumping rain on us, before yesterday when my destroyed wiper blade pretty much rendered us housebound, I headed to Top Ten Toys. Who would have thought that wandering around a store would entertain us for a good hour? This isn’t just any store though. Top Ten Toys is probably one of the coolest toy stores around. Z had a blast pushing the play mop, brooms and ladybug on wheels around and while he plucked toys from every corner, dragged them a few feet, then deposited them into some hidden crevice. It might be a little much in the stimulation department, as I noticed he couldn’t keep his focus on anything for more than a minute or so, but he seemed quite enthralled nonetheless. They have a train table here too, which didn’t really hold Z’s attention, but for those with train happy kids, this might keep some busy for a little bit while you browse.

And, I should mention that the Neptune Coffee around the corner makes a pretty good latte, if you care to brave the storm to get there.
