titletown life

On Saturday, we went to the art museum on campus.  They have an exhibit on all things mid-century right now, and I ate it up.  Yes, I have fully, recklessly, shamelessly jumped on that bandwagon.  We thought it was family day at the museum, which means they have art activities for the kids, but apparently my information was incorrect.  We still had a good time.

Right after I took this one, the guy told me I wasn't supposed to take pictures.  (Duh.  I don't know what I was thinking...)  This is an optical illusion sort of thing, you look down into it and it looks like it goes on forever...
This is the horse sculpture in the lobby.  I wish I could put it in my yard.  
Here is Ceci leaning against the wall.

See, this is what I love about Gainesville.  It has all this cool stuff, museums, good plays, festivals, etc, but it is still a small town.  It has yummy local places to eat, fun outdoor spaces, fairly good shopping (though it depends on who you ask...), a ridiculous amount of thrift stores for a town of it's size, an agreeable climate, and great public schools.  I can walk to Publix, Henry's school, a huge park, a bagel shop, a coffee shop, and a good place to get my eyebrows waxed.  Now, it is a longish walk, but there are sidewalks the whole way, and I don't really fear for my life at any point.  And every once and a while, a camel might walk down your street.
