Out and about...


Yesterday I got to go to the Museum of Science & Industry with three friends to see the Dr. Seuss exhibit.  I haven't been there in years and my goodness, has it changed!  The Dr. Seuss exhibit was wonderful with so much of his wonderful artwork on display. 


One of the permanent exhibits at the museum is "Science Storms".  We could see the tornado swirling as we were walking through. 


And trains...


and planes.  And the miniature train exhibit traveling though countryside and past all the miniature buildings of the Chicago landscape.


Theodor Seuss Geisel died on September 24, 1991, and I have saved the Sun Times newspaper from that week picturing The Cat in a Hat with a tear streaming down his cheek. 


"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." 
Dr. Seuss

I love that museum; although I love the vibe at the field museum. So thrilled y'all went and I love that final quote. Awesome.
