We explored the Walker Art Center today. Modern art still makes me go “Huh?” a lot.

Spacious museum lobby with angular white walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, dark brick floor, and modern white bench seating.

Franconia Sculpture Park

We had a great morning exploring the Franconia Sculpture Park! We are lucky to have great public art in the Twin Cities!

Mazie and I went to School of Rock on Broadway tonight and loved it! Great music, amazing acting from such young actors! The kids play all the music and are amazing! Highly recommended! 🎶

Mazie and I were very impressed with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum today. An event that was so important and a life event, but happened before she was born. It was interesting to see her taking it all in. It does an amazing job of reliving that day.
