Return to the Grounds for Sculpture.

It was a great day at the Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton with my sister, thanks to my good friend Kathy for the guest passes. The special Retrospective exhibit is still going on and I suspect it was due to the overcast skies that there were not too many guests. The lotus and lilies were blooming in multiple spots. The meadow was in bloom. We lunched at the Peacock Café. Sister had a Cobb Salad, that was so big she couldn't finish and I had the French Dip. This was cafeteria style so along with our food we grabbed a bag of chips to share and fountain root beers and took our tray outside to enjoy lunch in the Acer Courtyard. I would say it was reasonably priced at $28. and since it was basically self serve no tip was necessary.

Funniest of day

Foodie Friday: Delaware Chews at the Peacock Cafe

I can't say enough about the Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton. I have been there multiple times and never tire of it. This last visit was one of the best, with all of Seward Johnson's sculptures from around the country home to view. Most of the time, I go with my good friend Kathy and we lunch at Rats. Rats is a special place with outside seating on the pond, reminiscent of Claude Monet's Giverny. We throw care to the wind and our dollars too as Rats is rather pricey. On my most recent visit, I brought out of town guests and they chose the Peacock Café which is cafeteria style.

It is located in the Domestic Arts building with both indoor and outdoor garden seating. Guests preferred indoors. I would rate the experience far below that of Rats. I think the best thing about the Peacock Café is that the real peacocks are fed nearby so they are always available for photo ops.
