Grounds for Sculpture

Jackie and I spent the afternoon at a place called "Grounds for Sculpture" located down in Hamilton, NJ. It was REALLY neat to see all of the sculptures scattered throughout the grounds... hence the name.

Seward seems to enjoy sculpting people as shown throughout this slate of pictures. These "people" would be seen throughout the park in various sizes and positions. From a slight distance, it was sometimes difficult to tell if these were patrons or sculptures... a swift kick to the shins was all it took to discern the difference.

For lunch we stopped at "Rats" Restaurant, which was named for a character in sculptor Seward Johnson's favorite childhood story book, the Wind in the Willows. We had a wonderful meal at this French eatery - I was very wary as "tourist" park food is typically across-the-board horrendous. I was pleasantly surprised by this meal... until I got the check (ha ha).

It was a really an interesting afternoon and well worth the visit!
