The New DeYoung

Visited the new DeYoung museum over the weekend, as part of my new resolve to do one new thing every weekend (easy to do in the SF Bay Area).

I took my kids... I hate to brag, but I will anyway: they're really extraordinary when it comes to places like this. Where I suspect other kids would be bored, mine were jumping around, pointing out details ("I wonder why the artist made everything blurry except these two parts?", etc). True, towards the end of the day, they were museumed-out, but then again, so was I.

As a child, my parents always sought out new and unusual experiences for us, which was wonderful. These usually came in the form of strange camping adventures, month long sails, etc.

I am following their example, though in my own way: wierd and exotic foods, frequent discussion of history, art, and science (no religion, yet), different places, different people. And, oh yeah, sailing and camping too :)
