Union Station History and 1 Heart

 What should I do today?  I really didn't know.  I have been planning out my week ahead of time so when I finished the Sculpture Garden yesterday it threw off the week.  I had planned to finish that today.  Honestly it was much cooler today so I was glad I was not walking around outside.  I decided to go to Union Station.  There is a history series there that I was unaware of plus the they unveiling the first of the 2024 Heart of the Parade of Hearts.  Off I went.

Ok, I'm old.  This should not be a museum piece.

I hope you can see the prices from 1952.


What the waitress wore

The third floor was the part of the restoration of Union Station.  It was shut down today or so the security guard told me.  The fourth floor only had one room with a message from Walter Cronkite.  Walter Cronkite is from Kansas City.  So then I just started walking around.  


I found the Bricktionary Exhibit


Tiny lego camera


Big Lego man.  I walked down to the exhibit but it was $18 to see legos.  I thought that was a bit much.  I didn't go in.  Instead I called it a day.  Not very planned out but it worked.  I was very happy to see the heart.  I'm  excitedly waiting for the Parade of Hearts to start in April.  It was also cold this morning.  I put on my heavy coat again.  It's 3:00 and the sun just came out.  It's been cloudy today.  

I'm ready for tomorrow!
