Art Museums, Seafood, and IKEA, OH MY!

this week was my spring break, so mom, rich and i decided to have a family day.

we went to the Cincinnati Art Museum first. it was WONDERFUL! it was a large and beautifully built building, which had asian, african, egyptian, european, and contemporary art. one wing was devoted to American artists. we saw picasso (not uncommon though, he did a LOT of stuff), van gogh, monet, pissarro, renoir, cezanne, and quite a few i hadn't heard of. i wrote down a lot of names for future look ups. it was free and i highly recommend going.

while we were heading out, i was surprised by seeing my current drawing teacher there with his wife and daughter (i assume). he didn't see me though. ^_^

we then headed to Joe's Crab Shack on the Kentucky side of the river because mom wanted us to be able to see the river while we ate.

then off to IKEA. i'd never been there before, that place is crazy and awesome. I saw many things there that caused me to have visions of my distant future apartment. i'll definitely have to go back when i have money and am about to move out.

i did end up buying a cheap side table (i don't need now anyways), a laptop table (i kind of don't really need), and a laptop lap table whihc i am using right now. all of it was only thrity dollars. i would have LOVED to buy one of the many $130 chairs i found there, but oh well. ^_^

got home at 8:00. what a nice day it was, but i had a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach when we got home because i realized now that i only have THREE days left! AHHHHH! and homework calling my name! AHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHH!

oh well, i'll get it done. ^_^

LOTS OF LOVE TO ALL OF YOU!
