Think
polar vortex—think hibernate! We certainly are, with the Hibernators’
Pajama Pop-in Weekend (an admission-free Target weekend, by the way)
coming up. This is a cozy way for kids and grownups to key in on the
lively presence of hibernators all around us. But a serene session of
wellness, followed by a quiet spell in The Café, may be the way you’d
most like to hibernate this winter. I’m hard pressed to choose, myself.
