Impressionists At The De Young

Lydia gets a smooch.

I have been dying to see the Impressionist exhibit currently going on at the de Young Museum in S.F.  Happily, Wave and Doug wanted to see it too.

We all piled into the van on a Friday morning and made the drive.  Doug told us some of the history of the Enchanted Valley as we drove along scenic 280, making the trip even nicer than usual.

We fortified ourselves at a favorite restaurant of ours, Darla's, then walked through Golden Gate Park to the museum.  It was really nice to be back in the city.
A peck on the head for Rowan.

I had not yet been to the de Young since it was rebuilt, and it was a delight.  We saw only a tiny fraction of the museum in our 4 hours there.  The Birth of Impressionism exhibit was amazing,  I'll definitely go back to see it again before it closes.
