BMA - Sondheim Finalists Exhibit

Natalie and I went to the Baltimore Museum of Art today. We mainly went to see the Sondheim Artscape Prize exhibit but they had a lot of other cool stuff we hadn't seen before. We had a couple of beers at Gertrude's restaurant, using up the last of the gift certificate Mike and Karen gave for Christmas a couple of years ago.
