The Frist Center

           

                Last Tuesday, we took a field trip to the Frist Center.  I have not been to the Frist since I was probably seven years old, and I was not a big fan; therefore, I was unsure of what awaited the kids there.  To my surprise, it turned out to be one of the best field trips all summer—besides the one to Waller Lansden of course.  The kids were the most well behaved they had been all summer and had a lot of fun.  To top it all off, the exhibit, Sensuous Steel, was actually really interesting.  It featured some of the coolest old cars that I have ever seen. Wall Street Journal hails the exhibit as, “some of the most indispensable cars in automotive history, all in one place”.  After the exhibit, we went to the Martin ArtQuest—also sponsored by the generous Cal Turner Family Foundation—where the kids spent over an hour drawing, building, tracing, making animated movies, and tons of other fun-filled art activities. Tuesday was a blast, but unfortunately Wednesday was the worst day of the entire summer.  Fun Friday finished the week strong which I will get to in my next post.
