Dallas Museums

The first items on the to-do list this Summer were the museums. First we went to the Museum of Science and Nature and the Children's Museum in Fair Park (Cotton Bowl) where we got to see lots of cool things like a giant T-Rex! We also visited the planetarium which Fayte found so peaceful that she decided to take a nap. Shortly after entertaining our left brains, we decided to be fair to our right brains and visited the Dallas Museum of Art. It was a very nice surprise to find that the museum was of the same caliber as the ones the family was used to in New York. The collection was HUGE and we were very happy to have been able to see great works from before Christ and from artists such as Picasso, Rivera, O'Keefe and Pollack. If you plan on visiting this museum, be sure to set aside at least a few hours because it is that extensive.
