Annual family outing to Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, New Jersey 04/05/09



Every year on the first weekend of April, my family makes our excursion to Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ.   This year we were blessed with beautiful weather and had loads of fun as usual!  Grounds for Sculpture was founded by sculptor and philanthropist J. Seward Johnson and opened to the public in 1992.  My dear father-in-law/favorite contemporary sculptor began the family tradition of gathering us together at GFS annually at this time.  The 35 acres boast indoor and outdoor contemporary sculptures, gardens (many with "secret" nooks and passages),  as well as indoor and outdoor exhibitions.


Here's my best bud Big Bill and I taking a break from meandering.  Pathetically, we may have only strolled all of a mile and a half at this point.  :-0




Big Bill on the left and my bro-in-law Tony on the right as works of art.  Guess which one used to be a model? :-)




Hubby took this one of younger niece Willa and me out in the gardens.  






My hubby Chris loves having his pic taken.  Especially when he knows it's being posted to a couple of websites!

I was just looking that place up. Someone talked about the sculptures and I checked out the website. It looks beautiful.
