THE MUSEUM OF CLEAN and the (amazing!!) Don Aslett:
Both Matt's dad and Matt worked for him... This guy was amazing and he showed us around his $6 million dollar museum. He is just awesome.
I will admit, I was less-than-thrilled about going here, but the kids were REALLY EXCITED and I thought... where else will I take pictures of a cleaning museum?
We got there, and there was a bathtub replica that told us how much admission was, and that it was on the honor system, as we got situated, Don Aslett appeared. I had no idea who he was, but I have done some research, and I am mightily impressed. He gave us an AWESOME tour, and I am impressed by his enthusiasm, memory, and love of cleaning.
