    A great adventure for me when little. Main places to do that were Lincoln Park in Jersey City, NJ and Central Park NYC. :)
    While I did start with 'store bought' ready to go boats, at even that young I soon built and rebuilt my own. :)

    I've never tried sailing one of these but it does look like fun in the movies:)

    My main water fun was in the tub with a wind up seaplane. Been trying to find just that one for years.
    Someday soon I hope to take an actual flight. :)

    I had a toy submarine with a sort of pipe thing. You placed it in the bath with you, and could make it submerge and rise. I loved it.

    The only tub toy I really remember was one time one of my cats got a bit too curious and fell in.(LOL) Oops.

    Marble top table in one of houses...haven't got to give it a look over myself yet, but our buyer agent who knows I'm obsessed with digging these houses sent it to me. Not sure the purpose of it, looks like something from a bathroom?

    There were those that came in cereal and you used baking soda or powder to make it do that. I have one in its package. :)

    Ok had to switch to my PC which is weird because I have been having good luck posting from my phone! Anywho....not sure if its old or new, will have to give it a better looking over as our agent just said "looks old" LOL but I believe I have the perfect spot for this in the house so I am pretty stoked.

    There is also a vanity, or what I would think is a vanity that appears to match it as well, but the marble top looks pretty bad off with a chunk missing off the corner.
