There's a little kid inside of all of us. There's a big kid inside of me. The very minute that I first heard about the Dr. Suess Museum and Sculpture Garden in Springfield, Mass., I knew I had to go. I don't care how old I am. I was raised on Dr. Suess and so was my son.
So, I dragged my husband to the Springfield Museums and found what I was looking for and so much more. There are five museums and the sculpture garden at the Springfield Museums. There is the George Walter Vincent Smith Art Museum, Michele and Donald D'Amour Fine Arts Museum, Lyman and Merrie Wood Museum of Springfield History, The Springfield Science Museum, and The Amazing World of Dr. Suess and the Dr. Suess Memorial Sculpture Garden. All in one spot. There's a lot of variety, a lot to learn, a lot to see, and a good time for all.
The art collections are from around the world and span more than a 1,000 years. There are sculptures, religious artifacts, dynastic armor, works by the masters, dinosaur bones, and face it; there's a Lorax on the lawn. I went up to Springfield because it was a sort of rainy day and it's local for me. I go to Springfield often to go to the Big E or to see Christmas lights; but I'd never bothered to go to the museums. I should have gone sooner. I had my picture taken with the Cat in the Hat. You can't beat that. I also saw local water life in the aquarium on the basement level of the Science Museum and a Monet in the Fine Arts Museum. The place tickles all of your senses.
There are a lot of things to do in Springfield, the quirky little capital of Massachusetts. The Basketball Hall of Fame is there and the brand new MGM Grand Casino. But, right in the middle of the downtown area where all the best restaurants and bars are, sit the Springfield Museums. I've spent a lot of my life going to museums, and this is the most comprehensive bundle of museums I've ever gone to. I like the idea that I can pay one price and enjoy all kinds of art, science and history for a whole day. And, if Dr. Suess was what drove me to this discovery; well that's all the better. Enjoy!

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is great blog. A fantastic read. I'll definitely be back.
