A Trip to See Art





Jaime and I took a trip north this week. There is an exhibit from an art museum in Paris at the de Young museum in San Francisco that we wanted to see, so we decided to make a trip of it and visit her sister in Sacramento too. We drove to Sacramento Monday, with a stop at In'n'Out for lunch.
During the afternoon, we got to make a tart with Jaime's nephew and niece.
  
They had a great time arranging the fruit.
 
The next day we drove to San Francisco. The exhibit we went to see was good, but very crowded so we didn't stay as long as we thought we would.
While exploring the rest of the museum, we were excited to discover a painting by Hopper. He is one of Jaime's favorite artists and this was the first time she had seen one of his pieces in person.
Another cool painting.
After the de Young, we headed over to Pier 39. We went to a restaurant there for a late lunch/early dinner. The raspberry lemonade spritzer was really good.
We got a great table in the corner with two windows overlooking the bay.
After walking around and checking out some shops, we got ice cream. It was good.
Then it got really messy, but was still good.
We returned to Sacramento to spend another night with Jaime's sister and family. Wednesday we hung out with them for awhile before driving back in the afternoon. The drive seemed like a perfect time to enjoy my complementary bottle of Coca-Cola from our tour of the World of Coca-Cola this summer.
We made one last stop on the drive home. In Turlock, we met up with my friend Marissa and had dinner at Red Robin.
