Saturday we went to the Walters Art Museum to check out the jewelry exhibit, "Bedazzled". Cool stuff. The pictures you see of the jewelry don't do it justice. You have to see it in person. Later on, we went out Mom and Dad's for Mike's 51st birthday party. Even Tommy and Matthew blessed us with their presence.
Sunday we headed downtown to the open house at the American Visionary Arts Museum. A weird thing happened on the way there. We got a late start, so it was a little bit before 1:00 PM by the time we got down to Baltimore and St.Paul street. The Ravens were in town and the pre-game show was on the radio. The announcer said there was going to be a fly-by of 4 F-10s in a few minutes and just as he said that, they came roaring across the Inner Harbor, heading towards the stadium. The current exhibit at the museum is "The Marriage of Art, Science and Philosophy". We should have stopped in the sculpture barn for the free food as soon as we got there. By the time we got back there, after going through the main building, most of the food was gone. We did get a bagel and a bottled water. They have a great gift shop there with all kinds of unusual stuff. It's like a dollar store on acid. After the museum, we stopped at a bar called "Little Havana". We really liked it. It's a Fells Point kind of place, right on the harbor. The beer selection was good and the food was great. We split a Cuban Sandwich and an order of chimmy changas. Even the side dishes were good. Mine came with plantains and rice with beans. We ate every crumb.
