This is a photo montage of some of the greatest animal photos you have ever seen.  So just for the fun of it, take a 5 minute break in your day, sit back, relax, and see where these photos and music bring you to.  It's just that simple... let your mind just pleasantly drift from photo to photo and see if you don't feel better as the result.

UP... UP... & Away MACY'S MAGICAL TOUR


Click To Play        QUICKTIME       Phone

As a kid, I can remember my Mom telling me about the wonderful holiday displays that she would go to see at Daytons- downtown Minneapolis with her mother.  Now I'm not sure exactly what year that might have been but most likely it takes us back to the 1940's.  I remember visiting Dayton's in the 1960's a couple of times, although it really wasn't the kind of thing I got into as a kid.

Our story today takes us to the modern day Macy's (previously Daytons) and a visit to their 2006 Holiday Extravaganza titled  Up... UP... & Away featuring the story of Mary Poppins.
