maps

i've long loved map walls in children's rooms.  it's great to think about teaching holden about the big, big world in which he lives and establishing an awareness of this world and his greater surroundings.  as everyone who loves to travel knows, there are so many unbelievable things to see and experience on planet earth and instilling a sense of adventure and excitement, one of life's great joys, seems like something a map wall could initiate.

the two best map wallpapers i've found are both by ralph lauren.  one is more playful and one is more sophisticated.  a playful one seems more fitting now but a sophisticated one seems like it could get more mileage as holden grows up.  decisions, decisions.

any thoughts?
