Grounds for Sculpture, Part 2

We are picking up from where we left off yesterday, 
if you didn't read about how my day started and you are curious, you can read about it here.

Somehow, I made it to the Welcome Center
(can you believe the sign on the left, "we thought you'd never get here")
to get a scooter, and wouldn't you know, they were all out.
The kind woman at the center watched me walk away 
and knew I would never be able to tour the grounds. 
She called us back and offered us a private tour of the grounds on a golf cart.

I felt like dancing...we said, why yes, 
that would be wonderful and after we toured the indoor displays,








we toured the outdoor displays on a golf cart
with our own private tour guide.







Pictured are only a handful of some of my favorite sculptures. 
This sculpture was my favorite...it's name,
Young Love
It seemed appropriate for the day as we visited on June 25th, 
which was our 38th Wedding Anniversary!

My life started, when I met you!

  16. I am kinda partial to the sheep and Yarn sculptures. Duh.
    happy Anniversary!

  17. I read both posts and am glad the day got better as it went along. They obviously need to pay more attention to their service though -- more carts, more handicapped sticker parking closer (or a shuttle). But the kind lady who gave you the private tour made up for a lot! What an interesting park it is -- We enjoy outdoor art and have visited quite a few sculpture gardents, but I've never seen any quite like these in my life. They made me smile.

  20. Oh that was so nice of them to get you a golf cart and take you around, looks like a really neat park, I don't think I have seen anything like that, I have been to a wax museum but nothing outside like that, with that many sculptures, very cool!

  25. I don't know how I managed to miss these post last year but I'm glad I stopped back by to check them out. What an amazing place. Also your Anniv. was my parents wedding anniversary as well. That had 47 1/2 years together. Hope you have that and many more.
