Photoessay #1934 = UW yesterday afternoon




After we visited the Burke museum gift shop we went over to Suzallo library to pick up some books and generally hang out. Why not? I like that place myself. I know we are getting way ahead of ourselves but we make a point taking 11 year old Melina to the University of Washington quietly saying "If you want and keep getting good grades, you could go to college here." Right now she says she wants to be a 'professional hairdresser". Suzallo Library is always a trip; I know there are a lot of other libraries done in this same gothic style. But this one is ours.

Melina was working on a school project about the "Millau bridge". Never heard of it. We found out that a book existed in the Oedgaarde Undergraduate Library. Never been there, great excuse to go. After a librarian assist, we found the book. Dennis and Melina search for the bridge in the book. We find it, here's the illustration. Pretty impressive!

Turns out there are many pictures of this bridge online.

Hey, we know how to have fun! Right now we just have the one granddaughter and she likes to do this stuff. Especially if we get to come to our house later so she can throw the ball for Teddy.
