Okay, this trip was amazing! We had such a great time with the Edwards. Since I took so many pictures, I thought I would categorize them. So, the first category will be the art that we saw while we were there. On thurs. Ronna stayed home with her kids to rest. I took the 3 girls on the train to downtown to go to the SFMOMA. We tried to see the Frida Kahlo exhibit but really only glanced at it because there were soooo many people, and the double stroller didn't quite manage. But, the kids were happy to see a few of her bleeding on a hospital bed. Carmen was really intrigued and carried the book we got with her all over. She kept saying things like, "why does Frida have a tree on her neck, does that hurt?" I tried to explain the difference between paintings and photos, but hers do look pretty real. On Sat. we randomly went to the Stanford museum of art. I actually liked this one better because they had a fantastic collection without the crowds. The kids really loved the balancing banana by Oldenburg, Carmen aptly renamed it the "banalance." My favorite for pictures sake, and maybe because Eden kept trying to chat with it was the sculpture by Duane Hanson, David the mechanic. And of course the mummy was a hit. But, what kid doesn't love to see a 2000 year old dead woman?
