Here and There and Everywhere

I'm taking a breather from my Common Core posts for a bit, but will return with info. on performance tasks and assessments next month.

I have been traveling like crazy for the past few weeks. My writerly imagination cache overflows in new surroundings. 

Is the gate to Narnia in Central Park?

Central Park

Do I dare pass through the tunnel?

Central Park

Broadway

Will I meet my prince?

Where are the folks who usually sit on this bench? 






Chicago - Lake Front

If I have the luxury of a few free hours, I'll make tracks to a museum to...

Go back in time

Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brave a vortex

Chicago Museum of Science and Industry

Redecorate
Metropolitan Museum of Art

I take tons of pictures and scribble pages of bullet points in my journal, stealing settings, details, people, conversations, accents, and magic as I travel.

How do you fill your imagination cache when you are away from home?

Love Letter

Once Upon a Time...

There was girl who was New York City phobic. No matter how many episodes of Sex and the City she watched, she was still intimidated by the intensity of such a place.

Until...

She walked through Central Park in the winter. 

She was wowed by one Broadway show and

then another.

She was dazzled by the lights of Time Square.

She hung out with an Avenger at FAO Scwartz.

She inhaled pickles, pastrami, and cheesecake while sugary snow sprinkled outside, and

She fell in love with New York City.
