Vacation Report #16

My daughter, the mad scientist!

Madame Tussaud's is the premier museum for wax sculptures. Expect to see amazingly lifelike representations of actors, politicians and historical figures that could seemingly walk out of the displays at any moment.

Laclede's Landing Wax Museum in St. Louis, MO however is a different story! Some of the figures are laughable, some with fingers missing and most miss the mark of their intended portraiture by a St. Louis mile! Not to say it wasn't great fun to visit! This is the sort of thing we live for! Cheese in every direction and fun for the whole family (though Hannah was terrified of the Chamber of Horrors and decided to opt out of the basement with the more "scary" figures.

Cassie's most frightening moment was in front of the Nightmare On Elm Street exhibit. Another couple were trying to pass by her, making a sort of scratchy noise while squeezing between her and the wall. She pretty much freaked out, jumped a foot off the floor and paused clutching her heart ala Redd Foxx. "Elizabeth! I'm coming ta join ya!"

Providing some presidential advice.

Next up: Do these pants make my buttresses look big?
