2nd day

The 2nd day, we spent at the art museum and even got to see a special exhibit on Van Gogh.  I LOVED it.

I really liked this one. It was very calming.

Something neat about this museum.... it had a lot of Puritan furniture and silverware.  They also have a large Egyptian exhibit.  Harvard was one of the excavators of the 3 large pyramids in the Valley of the Kings.  I've studied a lot of the statues and other things in my art history classes.  It was fun to see them in person for the first time.

This is one that I remember from Art History.

I think this is pretty even without the rest of it.

This too.

This is the process that I studied in my sculpture class and the internship that I did.

Adam and Eve leaving the Garden of Eden.

I studied this too.

I've seen this one in person 3 times....  I think that's awesome!  I've always loved this piece.  Did you know that it's Degas's largest surviving sculpture?

They had a music/artistic instrument section.

 

20th Anniversary in Boston

 

Because we had an airline credit and it was our 20th wedding anniversary this year, we decided to go on a trip for the weekend.  Jer set everything up and we had a blast.  The first day we did the Freedom Trail.  We walked between 10-12 miles over the day.  It was great, but I was very tired afterwards. I loved the cemetery and Paul Revere's house were neat.  Jer LOVED the Constitution.  He's wanted to see it for years.   

I loved "the feeding of cattell".

this is where the docks used to be in the 1700s, but now they're out farther.

The Green Dragon.  I didn't know that this was where the sons of liberty met.  We were just walking by and said, "Cool! The kids would like this tavern." Then we found out what it was. 

This was a war memorial for Afghanistan and Iraq.

I sat down to take a break while Jer was poking around all the corners of the ship.... I ended up taking a nap.  Whoops.

There were at least 50 jelly fish hanging out around the ship.
