Ryan and I went to Illinois for a couple days this weekend to visit my Mom and Uncle. We also went to Allerton, a park I used to go to when I was little and my mom went to when she was little before me.
All around the estate are statues: some amusing, some intimidating, some majestic. And it occurs to me as I look through the pictures of our trip that Allerton is probably where I first started to appreciate art.
