The kids and I set out yesterday at midday and pointed the car toward Ward Parkway. I got to the Plaza and turned to go through and the kids said they wanted to go to the Cancer Survivors Park on the Western edge of the shopping district. The kids played a bit, letting me draw the view from my bench of the sculpture and the new building across the street. We moved up the park to the front and it's new sculpture, a symbolic flame of hope. I'll get a photo of it to get the colors in it. It's really beautiful!
I didn't get to sketch this one as long, little attention spans grow shorter, so I'll add color another day. I did manage a quick 'nother sketch of the kidlets checkin' out the acoustical properties of the parking garage that abutted the park!
We wandered into the Unity Temple on the Plaza, a church in the Beaux Arts (or is it Arts & Crafts?) style that I had attended once upon a time with my mother. On around the corner, I took them into the McDonald's in the lower level of Seville Square and showed them the Bas Relief Mural of Seville Spain that my husband helped design while he worked for Art Works in Chillicothe. 
I have an original ink on illustration board scale model of the final piece that he drew that I plan to frame when we get into a bigger place.
Home for some rest and refreshment as the temperature climbed to about 85, then off to meet Daddy at Union Station for ice cream after work! Some wriggly squiggles later, we headed out to Washington Park to run some outside and watch trains. I worked on my perspective with the balustrade and park lamps. Home, exhausted and sleepy!!
