Honey, I'm home! Yes, it was a fine trip and I got to stop in some places I have never been. I wasn't going to mention where it is that I had gone, but I have to tell you about a couple of museums that I saw. If you ever get the chance, stop by the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. As a law student and former history major, the museum combines both history and law in a compelling and exciting way that is interesting to everyone from kids to adults. As sappy as it sounds, the presentations made me feel proud to be a law student. I understand what I'm going to be defending in court. The exhibits are interactive, and my student ID got me a discount. The other museum I got a chance to go to was the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I hadn't planned on going there, but was urged to go by a relative. I am so glad I did. The collections were unbelievable. There are entire rooms lifted from European homes and churches as well as Indian temples. Manet, Monet, Pissaro, Picasso, Johns, Brancusi, Lipchitz...I got to see it all. So yes, I stopped by Philadelphia. I'm really glad I did.
