A Walk in the Park

Today is a concert date. This means the Park has been looking like a disaster zone for the past couple of days. It's also Sunday. That's the day of the week that families often go out for some 'quality time'. What better than to take ths kids down to the park and play?

Come on kids! Let's go to the Park!

Whoa! What's this? It seems the Police has blocked our entry into the Park. Not to worry, there's plenty of alternatives. We'll just have to hike 5-10 blocks. Great exercise for the toddlers!

Come on kids, let's hike to the Park!


First stop - the Vistor's Center. We'll find directions to all sorts of neat things to see and do. All we need are directions on how to get into the Visitor Center!

Come on kids! Let's hike to the Visitor Center!


From the Park, you can find several museums. You have to look carefully, but yep, there they are back behind the dumpsters, PODS storage bins, and several hundred feet of chainlink fences.

Come on, kids! Let's hike to the Museums!


Security is tight. I guess concert-goers are well known scofflaws and harbingers of dangerous items (like water bottles). Everybody gets frisked going in. I studied their procedure for awhile. It seems that men only search men. Women search women. Sometimes, women search men. Not sure why that is, maybe it depends on how much you pay for the ticket?

Come on, kids! Let's assume the cowboy-under-arrest position and get frisked!


During today's outing, I kept wondering who thought this was a good way to run a Park. Then, just around the corner, there seemed to be a clue. I think we found a bust of the 'head-honcho'.

Come on kids! Enough of this. Let's go home!
