New York

Rich had a buisness trip to New York and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to meet him there and spend a few days with him seeing the sights. Our hotel was right in the middle of times square... it was busy 24/7 outside and amazing how many people are there


 


We went to the MET and it is huge and we spent a whole day exploring the galleries. Here are some cool things I liked... :) 

Chess Set- look at the detail in this... very cool!
 
Loved this glass bowl... beautiful!
So intricate... bone carving... such tiny details!

Beautiful glass vases...

Gorgeous combination of pottery and metal and glass work

I had to laugh... a Dyson in the modern art exhibit...

Could you imagine having a bed this high off the ground? The little step stool doesn't look like it's high enough to get up onto the bed even.


I thought this was cool... a gate? Nope... it's a choir screen that seperated the choir from the congregation at a cathedral.

An exhibit on american instruments- some of the instruments we have at our house and their histories.

The trumpet...

Tuba...

Clarinet---

Piano (wish we had a grand... lol!)


This was incredibly unique- three different instruments in one.
