Spring Break in Cleveland: Day 2, Part A

On the second day of our trip, we returned to Case Western to visit the Monet in Normandy exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art. (The rest of the museum is still under construction because they're expanding and updating it.)

I enjoy this hot dog stand at the entrance to the museum. It reminded me of New York. Then we saw these ladies walking into the museum.

I would like to join any sort of club where they require you to wear a hat (except an athletic one because those hats are too utilitarian).

We couldn't take any pictures inside the museum, regardless of how kindly I asked, so I had to satisfy myself with just this one.

You can't go wrong with a Monet exhibit. After the exhibit, we walked around the Circle at Case and took a few pictures at the Museum of Natural History and the Cleveland Botanical Gardens.

And we kept seeing the tip of this Frank Gehry building peeking out.

By this time, we were totally starving, so Cristen took us back to Coventry so we could eat at Tommy's. All of the places we ate at while in Cleveland were delicious, but I think overall, Tommy's was my favorite. Mmm... just thinking about it makes me hungry! The funny thing about going back to Coventry to eat was that we parked in almost exactly the same location as the day before except just on the other side of the street. I like the apartments near there. They look like this:

Those ladies are part of "The Red Hat Society." You have never heard of them? Google "Red Hat Society." You can probably start up a Purdue branch. Posted by: Kristin at March 16, 2007 03:24 PM
