So after the weekend I just had to make it to tuesday as I had been planning a day in San francisco to see the King Tut exhibit. I had a great time in Golden Gate park and went to the De Young and the Cal Academy. I saw lots of amazing things and walked about unencumbered...I saw parents dealing with emergent toilet stops, tantrums, strollers,and sticky snacks, but I was carefree with a small purse, ate in the museum cafe and for the drive up and back did not play "i spy" or sing children's songs. It was a very relaxing day and I look forward to another one sometime soonish.
Here are some of the things I saw, Couldn't take pictures of King Tut (sorry) something about a curse...

It makes me remember days with Chrissy, after his "eye appointments" and our trips to the DeYoung.
Chris, being different even then, was not a problem at all and I actually enjoyed his reactions to some artworks...
He had an incredible reaction to one particular Giacometti sculpture that we first saw froma distance... Chrissy freaked! I couldn't work out why, until I got up close and found a collection of wierd bits on the floor. It was a Giacometti sculpture entitled "woman with her throat cut" but only when I saw the title did I have the same reaction as Chris....
there's more to art and thinking than this world dreams of....
... but I'm glad that mums still get days off.
Don't you sing children's songs when you're on your own?
