When I was little and other 5 year olds wanted to go to the zoo, my dad would take me into Chicago to spend the day at The Museum of Science and Industry, or Shedd's Aquarium, or the Museum of Natural History. I still will drive the 8 hours to go to museum row in Chicago. <br />I was discussing the possibility yesteday with my husband to go back later in the year so I could visit a few more musuems. I didn't get into either the Van Gogh or the Rijksmuseum. He did because he went there 4 times on his stay but we didn't have time on my stay. We have to wait 180 days though because of his visa. <br />I, so appreciate you reading this saga of my vacation. I have to tell you though, my readers have dropped at the same velocity as a brick being tossed the Eiffel Tower. I think readers are way past of wanting to hear anything more.Cheryl P.http://artofbeingconflicted.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740338215172190519.post-62147272763076327282014-01-20T21:36:49.819-06:002014-01-20T21:36:49.819-06:00So, I wanna know, were you always a keen history l...So, I wanna know, were you always a keen history lover, or has that come over time? I could spend hours in each museum. Guess I'd be in big trouble with 89 of them! I really appreciate how there is so much to learn and explore.

I thought the same thing about if a person paid for the time, if they would be willing to answer some questions. With my luck there would be a language barrier and clothes would be coming off before we got it straightened out. <br /><br /><br /><br />There are sections of the RLD that are guys in the windows and there is a section that I am not sure if they are men or women.
