On Thursday, Grandpa George and Grandma Roslyn asked if they could watch Blair on Friday. Since we had no plans, we happily agreed since we knew that Miss B would love to see her grandparents. We took that as an opportunity to plan our second "different" date night.
We decided to go to the Museum of Fine Arts. Neither Travis nor I had been, but we have always talked about going. So it was set.
We dropped off Blair around 4:30pm and trekked it downtown to the museum district. After parking we walked inside to the lobby and paid $20 ($7 per adult and $6 for parking). Since the museum closed at 7pm, we knew that we only had about an hour and a half to take it all in. We wandered from gallery to gallery, admiring all different kinds of art. There were some breathtaking pieces and then ones that left me wondering if I wasn't in the wrong industry. LOL. Seriously, some of 'art' seemed like it was removed from the average person's home, or was painted by a 2 year old, but we still took the time to appreciate it. We walked around, enjoying the experience and wondering why we hadn't done this sooner.
There was an exhibit by Helmut Newton, a world-renownded photographer, that we were unable to see (this exhibit was an additional $10 per person) due to timing. We are going to go back soon to catch it though!
We had such an amazing time exploring the museum, that now we are wanting to become members! To fine out more about the Museum of Fine Arts, click the link below.
After leaving the museum, we headed to "A Moveable Feast" for dinner. This restaurant is attached to a health food store that serves everything from vegan food to burgers. The food is delicious! Travis ordered the vegetarian chili pie and I had the chicken salad sandwich. Yum.
On our way back to Katy to pick up Blair, we stopped at the Nestle Toll House store in LaCenterra. That shop should be outlawed. It is way too good and horrible for you!
Date #2 was such a hit... I cannot wait for next month's date!
