Skipping Work to the City

Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth

Deciding to take the day off, Marc and I travelled into the city this morning for the whole day. Later this evening, we were going to attend a production that his sister, Kim, was producing. So to get the most out of a trip to the city, it was time to explore! Knowing Marc and I, art and science is something we always like to get into during a traveling adventure. So with that, the MoMa and the Museum of Natural History were on out daily bucket list. My friend, Andrew, from my Ashland counseling days hooked us up with some free passes into the MoMa, the Museum of Metropolitan Art. It is so surprising that I have never been to the MoMa before! It was just filled with so many of my favorite artists and pieces! I felt like such a tourist, taking photos of every piece of artwork and getting photos of me with all of them too! After lunch, we moved on over to the Museum of Natural History for the second time! We had visited the M of NH a few months prior but never finished getting through it all. So we had to go back and finish where we left off. The one disappointment was that both times now, the great ocean room was blocked off to a wedding or reception of some sort, so we were unable to fully look at all the exhibits. I guess we need to go back again, not that I am complaining. After dinner, we attended the play called "Denmark" written by Matthew Grasda, produced by Marc's sister, Kim. It was a very intimate gathering of a small cast about a whole variety of deep emotion and relations among members of a family and a love affair. It was definitely a deep, dark, multiple-themed production; and very well executed. Feel free to check out the description of it here. It was pretty cool to watch and was super proud of Kim and how she helped fundraise and get this out into the public.
