I just returned from Sisters' Weekend 2024 in Kansas City. One of the fun things we did was take a journey down The Rabbit Hole. While it was more for children, my sister and I are both children at heart and lovers of classic books, so we knew we would love it (and we did). It was truly magical.
You start by descending through The Rabbit Hole - a grotto built with books with phrases from Alice in Wonderland embedded into the walls. You come out into a magical land of books. But first, we stopped in the bathroom where this talking guy greeted us from one of the stalls.
It was hard to pick a favorite, but Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends was certainly right up there.
And of course, we couldn't resist having a little fun.
We couldn't get over how spot-on each scene was ... staying so true to the book's illustrations.
In each scene there were multiple copies of the book being featured and fun little nooks and benches where children could sit and read.
There was so much laughter and fun in this space.
So many wonderful childhood reading memories returned as we enjoyed the lovely space.
It was a lovely way to spend our afternoon.
It was a wonderful way to spend time with my sister.
It's amazing that a place like this exists. I hope all of the kiddos there have equally wonderful reading memories when they grow-up.
