On Thursday Eirene, Jessica, Alaycia, and I went to went to the Frist Museum .The Frist Museum is an art museum, but we went to see a fashion exhibit, called The Golden Age of Fashion: 1947-1957. There were tons off dresses and suits. The clothes were from big company's in London and Paris, such as Christian Dior. My favorite dress was pink with beads embroidered on it.
Then we went to a hands on workshop. Eirene and I both drew a picture of a candle holder. Since it was closing time, we could not look at everything, but we were able to visit the gift store. Eirene got us all postcards of our favorite dress or photograph. Then we went to the Parthenon, a copy of the original building in Greece. It was built for The World's Fair when it came to Nashville. It was originally made out of wood. The people loved it so much that they built again in concrete. It took ten years to build it in Nashville, the same amount time it took to build the original Parthenon. We also went to McKays, a used bookstore. I got a two novels for a low price. At last we went home and I fell asleep after watching Rumpelstiltskin.Me and my postcard of my favorite dress.

Wow this was a great blog. I wish I were there with you. I would love to go to the fashion museum, the Parthenon, and especially the used book store. Keep blogging so that those of us not fortunate enough to be there with you guys can have fun vicariously.
