for Dad


My brother took a day off of work (thank you, David!) and that made for a wonderful day in St. Petersburg, Florida. My husband, Dad, David, and I participated in hanging Dad's new painting on a nice wall in his sitting area. He was pretty happy about it, as you can see from his big smile. I've written about Dad before on this blog, so I won't belabor the sadder aspects of the visit. You can read more here if you are interested.

After lunch al fresco, we took a long walk with Dad to the Dali Museum. It was sunny and warm (and humid) but pelican-filled and lovely. We met up with the rest of my brother's family for dinner. Later that evening, when we dropped Dad off at his place, he told me, "I had a ferociously good time today!"

Some days are sweet like that!

The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg, Florida and I had the fun of spending several hours in the Salvador Dali Museum. They didn't allow photography in the museum, except here, at the central staircase! What ideas he had!

Many of the paintings in this video were in the museum.



Did you know that Dali and Disney collaborated on a short animated film?
