31 YEARS, PART 2!!!!!

Since the baseball game was canceled, we decided to go on our "hot" date early. We headed to Cuneo Museum. The website said it was open from 10-5. When we got there, the sign said they were open 11-3. Bummer! We started to turn around and the security guard stopped us. The gardens were open, but the mansion wasn't open until 11:30. Dad and I walked around the gorgeous gardens. As Dad said, "Just because you are rich, doesn't mean you have any taste." We saw beautiful flowers. The walking was very nice. There were lots of shade trees, otherwise, it would have been way too hot. Even if this was our "hot" date.

Isn't this something?

The front of the mansion/museum...

The backyard...

Even the bird houses looked like the mansion down to the paint job...

Wouldn't this make a nice aisle for a wedding?

There were fountains and statues all over the grounds (ugly to me)...

Not sure if this was a playhouse for the children, or something else (when the family bought this house, their children were 5 and 7).

What our storm did all over Vernon Hills...

After the museum, we went to the "Wildberry" for lunch. It was crowded, noisy and amazing. Dad had a three egg omelet and I had a Chicken Cranberry Wrap that I couldn't finish (if you can believe that). Dad finished his just fine. I will finish mine for dinner tonight.

It was a nice celebration of our 31 years. Enjoy the pictures. Oh BTW, since the library has passes, we got in FREE to the museum. Too bad they don't have passes for the restaurants.
