The Grandchildren (part 1)

We spent Easter weekend in the Windy City of 

Chicago!!

It's where we get to go to visit our grandchildren.

Since we moved to FL we don't get to see them as often as I would like.

I treasure every moment with them!

One day we visited a couple of art galleries.

It was about an eight mile hike.

On the way we saw this colorful garden.

First art gallery stop was the UIC (University of Illinois Chicago) Thesis Exhibition.

 Our grandson's favorite exhibit.

 Here's how it was attached to the ceiling.

I have a good video, but I could not publish it for some reason.

Our granddaughter liked the exhibit next door titled "Witch Hunt."

She did not like the content, but she liked dancing to the music.

On our way to the next gallery we stopped at a park.

We saw the Amtrack train.

 Favorite exhibit at the 2nd art gallery.

Our granddaughter enjoyed the ride,
but was glad to be back home with Roxie.

Spring in Springfield

I love living in Florida, but . . .

after visiting Springfield, TN recently I must confess that 

I do miss spring blossoming in the north.

Here is what I saw as I walked one day.

I was so busy taking pictures I almost didn't get my walk in!!

I thought about taking this down the hill rather than the pathway.

I decided since I was on my own I better stick to the pathway.

It would be my luck if I had gone down the slide

I would have sprained an ankle or something worse.

I really enjoyed the freshness of Spring!!

I meant to take a picture of the redbud trees while I was in Springfield, 

but I never did get around to it.  

Maybe my better half will take a picture & send it to me.

I actually saw two redbud trees on a walk

in an adjacent neighborhood here in FL.

I was pleasantly surprised!
