We saw a lot of stunning artwork and some pieces that I think my kids could produce. It’s very intriguing how certain artists become famous and make money off their art. Of course we saw pieces by Monet and Rembrandt but there were many lesser known artworks as well. Here are some of the pieces I found cool.
This was a Quaran from the year 1380.
Cool postcard art - there were dozens of these.
Exhibit on the color wheel. String art.
This kind of looked like Dubai in my opinion. With some paint dripping down...
After this and a little lunch at the Museum (their salads were quite delicious), we walked around the Klyde Park area. This is a darling park in the middle of downtown and it’s probably more busy on a workday - Saturday was pretty quiet. There were football and ping pong tables along with playgrounds and grassy areas. Super cool for a downtown space!
We then went and checked out the JFK Assassination area and the memorial. It began raining so we were running without umbrellas and trying not to get wet - which is ironic that we didn’t have umbrellas considering all the conspiracy around “the umbrella man.” They have the group marked off exactly where Kennedy was shot in his motorcade.
We ended up heading to our hotel and watching Buzz Feed’s Unsolved episode on the JFK Assassination. Very intriguing for a few of us who didn’t know al do the details surrounding the murder. An informative and historical afternoon! The teacher in me was quite pleased.
And after a little catnap and relaxation, we found ourselves looking for dinner. And since we are in Texas...we found ourselves an authentic diner with biscuits and gravy. Yes, someone had biscuits and gravy for dinner, and a few scrambled eggs on the side. We knew this place must have had good food because when we pulled up it was nearly full of customers. That’s always a good sign, plus the Yelp reviews were generally positive. Katie had the ribeye and Em got some pancakes. I knew from everyone else’s order that there would be enough food for me to just eat off their plates. And I did.
As the signs explains, we should have eaten dessert first because there was no room after all that food. I didn’t get pictures of the pancakes or the bread basket, which was cornbread and country biscuits. This state loves food! Check out this cute Texas charm on the booths. I thought it was just darling.
This place was called Norma’s and it was sure tasty. Seems like their sense of humor is right up our alley as well.
And the sunset tonight was amazing. A beautiful reminder that the sun you saw tonight, is the same one we saw. Sometimes apart, but always together.
