Day 27 - Louisiana

Day 27

Afternoon

Nov. 8

Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Dear Mrs. Smith,

            Today we went to the Enchanted Doll Museum where we saw dolls from the early years to the today like the Madame Alexander doll.

            When we got to the doll museum I was sure that if we were younger we might have thought we were in heaven.

            The exhibits were behind glass so little girls wouldn’t try and take the valuable dolls.  Some however were out so they could touch them. My favorite of the exhibits were the storybook dolls. I like the dolls' dresses mainly. 

            I think Amy liked the "Gone with the Wind." Grace liked the "Seasonal Walk Through," where there were dolls for all seasons of the year. Priscilla really liked all the exhibits especially the little baby sleeping on the moon.

            They had one-of-a-kind dolls that you can never see any more, like the Madonna and the Archangel Michael.

In the gift shop we saw little furniture and big furniture for all sizes. There were tea sets with the colors from pink to light baby blue. 

 They had dolls from newborn to teen. [For some reason that just does not sound right] but the smallest dolls were about the size of a grown woman’s hand. There were dolls that had from medieval times to modern clothing. I bought Grace a beautiful little purse, and Amy a hat, and 

Priscilla's Doll

Priscilla a doll for her collection. (The hat looked like something Priscilla would wear.)

I really enjoyed walking through the past to the future, even if it was represented with dolls.

                                                Sincerely,

                                                Mikayla
