Tick Tock Looking at Antique Clocks

All work and no play makes

Jillian a dull girl.

That's why I insist on having

"family days" every few weeks

and we take a little side trip.

This week we took a tour of

a clock museum. 

Since we love antiques this was right up our alley.

Look at this beautiful painted rotunda or dome.

Then inside the exibit doors we entered...

First up...early moments of time in our history.

What's this? A piece of Stonehenge?

Who knew, this close to home!

(great job on the replica!)

And of course, a sun dial!

Who needs a wristwatch

when you can look at the sun...

 Then over time man got a little 

more creative with the sandglass.

We call them hourglasses.

Moving on...

 Fast forward to antique clocks of Europe

And not just a clock but a

GRAND STATUARY CLOCK

 From none other than PARIS

Dear hubby snapped a picture of me

reading up on American Clocks

Look at this one.

I love the flag motif.

This is the real thing...

and oldie but goodie.

Not the kind you find

at Hobby Lobby!

And we caught Bebe checking out some of

the more modern clocks

with famous characters on them.

From very old to modern clocks

and a few in between, we enjoyed

our trip to the clock museum!
