Cloistered in Manhattan



We passed the 70 degree mark this weekend so these things happened...

Saw some bad public art and picnicked in Madison Square Park 
Ate dinner outside at our favorite local seafood restaurant
Baseball at what must be the world's most beautiful Little League park on the Hudson River

We also had fun with litmus...


Stood out on the subway...

One of these readers is not like the others

Stood around looking cute...



And this craziness ensued in Central Park (I'll post more on that later this week)...



But the highlight of the weekend was heading way uptown to The Cloisters.  The kids have been reading about medieval Europe with Kevin recently and The Cloisters is a branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art that specializes in just that: medieval Europe.  The museum "incorporates parts from five European abbeys which were disassembled and shipped to New York City, where, between 1934 and 1939, they were reconstructed and integrated together with new buildings in the medieval style."  Pretty cool.  We rented the audio tour, tuned into the special children's tour, and headed out.
