The Mcnay

Over my incredible month-long break, I realized something very important: I LOVE museums. I did lots of fun things, but I think visiting the Mcnay art museum was my favorite activity. (Sad you couldn't come, Katherine- hope you feel better!) Actually it ranks behind the trip to enchanted rock, but what indoor activity can possibly compete with the coolost chunk of granite known to man? Much like our trip to erock, a large amount of our museum time was devoted to taking pictures. At the Mcnay, we probably spent as much time doing that as we did looking at the pictures inside.

The Mcnay is located in an enormous Spanish-style mansion, and houses ALOT of great art. What made the trip even better was the fact that I had use of some bad a** camera equipment courtesy of friend, photographer, and constant winter-break companion Wes Kitten. All the pictures I took here were taken by me with his Canon 20D. great camera.

Anyway, back to me loving museums. This is all thanks to my parents, who used to take the family hiking and to museums fairly regularly. I loved both of those things, and still do, so thanks, Mom and Dad. Brian and I plan on taking museum and hiking excursions with our family, too.
