Not only did we enjoy the sights but the food as well. Yes, we ate nothing but greasy food but the kids thoroughly enjoyed it. Whats better than fish 'n chips with a side of fried veggies? Oh yes, how about a salad for dinner to counter act all that greasiness sitting in your belly, it was much needed!!! And not only was the art fantastic but we got to see a magician, get balloon animals and hats, make some crafts and even watch a glass blower make a beautiful bowl. I can now see why they charge so much for one small item, ti takes so much to make one tiny piece of art, it is beautiful. And the best part of it all? My kids did not touch and we did not have to be forced into buying something expensive :) In a setting where there is glass and art everywhere you turn, a mom is bound to be neurotic with the "no touching" rule and I am sure my girls heard it a million times that day. However, it all paid off. While perusing a glass necklace vendor, my girls sweetly glanced at the jewels and marveled at the pretty colors and picked out which one they liked best and the words a mother always wants to hear came out of the owners mouth...."you have such well behaved kids". Did I just hear the angels sing? I thanked her and smiled and then smiled at my sweet girls, I was so proud, all of the death glares and threats of "if you touch" (ok, so I don't threaten them but they know I mean business) totally paid off. It was a great day that ended on a healthy fresh salad and sweet food coma note and I would love to do it all over again!
