The Clark Museum: Dove/O'Keeffe

One particular Friday, we decided to The Clark Museum in Massachusetts. In doing so, we managed to reach the Rendezvous' capacity: 3 laughing sisters, 2 babies complete with carseats, 1 Jenna, and two strollers stuffed here and there. Take a look at how we all crammed into the car:

Jenna got the way back...with a stroller sitting next to her. Note: When all seats are up in the Rendezvous, it doesn't really have "trunk space."

So Anyway, The Clark is a pretty nice museum not too far from Albany. Part of their permanent collection includes Degas, Monet, and Renoir. And many others too. This summer they had an exhibit featuring Georgia O'Keeffe (the oversized flowers lady) along with Dove, another artist and inspiration to O'Keeffe. I wasn't allowed to take pictures of the Dove/O'Keeffe collection, since it wasn't a part of their permanent collection. Actually, we weren't really allowed to do much. I don't think the museum people were too thrilled to have all of us there, pushing two loud babies around...And I got yelled at once for "leaning" on a table...but I wasn't leaning, I was just turning in a certain way so I could get a nice picture. The museum guards had no sense of humor. Oh well. We had fun regardless!

Outside, the grounds of The Clark are beautiful. So I used it as an opportunity to more pictures, of course!
