My daughter and I have set aside the middle of the week to spend a whole day together, talking, exploring sites in the area, and sharing both a light breakfast, with our much loved coffee, and finally a bit of lunch !!
The last several Wednesdays have found us at the St. Louis Zoo, and the Shaw's Botanical Gardens, as well as today's visit to the unique St. Louis attraction, the CITY MUSEUM...
Every year my high school students were given the assignment to attend a museum or galleries, etc, and do 3-part project which included a visual, written, plus an oral presentation to the class, sharing their experience in the artworld outside the classroom. Many reports were done about the City Museum, but I, myself, hadn't actually been there for a good 7 or 8 years.... The place is AMAZING !! They have done Wonderful things, and the displays are INCREDIBLE ! The Museum is the brainchild of Bob Cassilly, a local artist and sculptor, with VISION and CREATIVITY beyond what most of us can imagine.
If it's been awhile since you have been there, or maybe you've never been there, PLEASE consider going... AND CERTAINLY take the kids (or grandkids) You'd LOVE it, and so would they !
Here are a few choice pics from the last few Wednesdays.....
