#19PickMeUp

Week 19 - March 27th 

Surprising: My SUPER, cool high-school science teacher!
Destination: Hamilton, OH
Content(s): A Superman postcard, Superman hat, Superman magnet, Superman pencils, Kryptonite Rock Candy....all from Metropolis! 

Last week, I was in Paducah, KY, and when you cross the Ohio River you end up in Metropolis, IL - The HOME of Superman! Knowing that there was a 15-foot Superman at this exit, I just HAD to stop! 

And when I did....I immediately thought of my high school science teacher! Superman is her jam! And Metropolis had EVERYTHING Superman! A Superman Statue, a Superman Museum filled with more than 20,000 artifacts, Superman and Superwoman cutouts (these things are ALL over the city....by the Museum, the gas stations, the Rest Area. Like I said, ALL over...) And I can't forget the Superman Gift Shop! 

Knowing that my former teacher already has a Superman collection with TONS of super neat "Stuff," I knew I had to get something to add to it that she may not already have! I also sent her a post card, letting her know that if she has NOT been here yet, it's a Road Trip that must be had! 

Next Stop....Metropolis, IL!
5.5 hours from Hamilton. 4.5 hours with the time change!
