This evening we went to the Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience here in DC. Besides having amazing displays of his paintings, they had other really cool video experiences. The final display was a huge room with video being shown on all the walls telling the story of Van Gogh and his works of art. We really had an amazing time. I can’t recommend it enough! Below the pictures is a short video from the last room.
Time for a field trip! My friends and I went to the Kreeger Museum this morning. They had not been before but I’ve been there a few times. It’s right near our condo. The weather was perfect. We toured the house enjoying the artwork and the sculptures on the grounds. Afterwards we went out to lunch. I’m ready for another field trip!
Hurricane Ida hit the gulf coast on August 29th. It was almost a direct hit to New Orleans, where my husband’s parents live. They tried getting a flight out the Friday before but the flight was cancelled. They ended up staying there for the hurricane with their daughter. A few days after the storm they returned home to a small amount of damage to their house but no water and no electricity.
They decided to come and visit us. They’ve been here almost two weeks, relaxing and not thinking of the hurricane damage. Tonight we we took them out to dinner with our friends. We had a great time catching up with them and taking their minds off the hurricane. Not sure how much longer they will be staying with us but I’m glad we were able to help them in their time of need.
