Little Kids, Big City
Who cares about brain freeze -- if you're outta school? Pick up a frosty cone at Molly Moon's Last Day of School Event in Wallingford. The sweet shop offers flavors like Bubble Gum and Salted Caramel, Thai Iced Tea and Cardamom, Balsamic Strawberry and...Vanilla Bean (Vanilla's for the not-so-adventurous types).

Little Kids, Big City
For all of it's challenges, the teen years are often a very creatively fertile period for people, and I have been excited to find a bunch of local resources that encourage--and perhaps inspire--kids in that direction.

Just about everything in the Rem Koolhaas-designed Seattle Central Library is far-out, so it's not surprising that the library gift shop has a clever set-up. When it's closed, the third-floor retail store known as the FriendShop resembles a giant, sky-colored box. During business hours, it slides apart into five separate structures loaded with gifts and artwork crafted by local artists.

So what do you do in a winter when parts of Massachusetts get more snow in one storm than the total skimpy snowpack at Stevens Pass?
If you've lived around Puget Sound long enough to know how to pronounce "Sequim," you know that skiing is our winter safety valve. It's our ticket out of the seasonal mildew of Seattle at sea level. Without skiing between November and April, our attitude sours and we get all damp and unpleasant, like liquefying lettuce left too long in the fridge.
