Take me out Tuesday

Yesterday getting out of the house and driving into the city was awesome. Kc left school early and we took Hank to see a few museums. He gave each one a thumbs up or thumbs down.

We started at the YBCA (Yerba Buena Center for the Arts) and found some sweet stuff mixed with some disturbing video installations. One room had a circle of tvs all looping audiences clapping. Like Ricky Lake audience members clapping, over and over. But the best thing there was a collection of newspaper and found objects made out of organza with hand crocheted work on top. Also a charcoal drawing on wood panels.

 Wood panel charcoal drawing. Super detailed and pretty sweet.

I may have edited this image a little. The thing about naming your son Hank is the word is all around you. It reminds me of a found typography exercise we did in Graphic Design class. This is also part of the organza/embroidery collection.

 Then we headed to the SFMOMA where a lot of the museum was under construction, but the rooftop garden and people watching was pretty fun. The main exhibit was about wine which had cool displays, if it were about Dr. Pepper Kc would have liked it even more.

This picture is a little hard to see, but this couple really treats the MOMA like home or should I say HOMA

After the MOMA we stopped by The Sentinel a sandwich shop that I had heard of when I worked downtown. It is only open for lunch and serves different menus daily. I thought it was delicious, not sure why Kc was most interested in the pickle and Werthers Original they give as sides.

Next we drove over to the Legion of Honor where Hank enjoyed me changing his diaper on the front steps. This museum was a lot larger than I thought, the paintings, frames, ceramics and outlet where we charged our dead camera were all fun to see.


The exterior may be my favorite part

Rarrrr

Feeding and changing out front

The fog was pretty thick yesterday. These pics were taken next to the Legion of Honor. I was pretty impressed KC didn't sneak off to the golf course that surrounded the museum.




So many picture, but like my sister Anne I use this Blog as a journal. I will have to hit the De Young and the Conservatory of Flowers next month on the free Tuesday. Hank hardly fusses and is an all around better baby when he is outdoors.
