At the end of September Audrey and I travelled to New York City.
The trip was scheduled around our annual visit to Maker Faire, a festival of "making" (hobby electronics, robotics and technology wackiness).
A month or so before I had read a glowing review of the special Picasso sculpture exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. So we travelled down Saturday morning to visit MoMA. That was well worth it: I thought the exhibit was fantastic. We always think of Picasso as a painter, but the journey he took through sculptural media is fascinating. It also makes it even more obvious what a genius he was.
I apparently didn't take any photos, but we spent Saturday night with friend Brady and Julie and Julie's brother in Yonkers. We arrived for a lovely dinner and had a great visit.
At Maker Faire we met up with another good, old Seattle friend: Bill. He was there with his wife and three kids. Audrey had fun with Cole and Tatum at a station where they could disassemble electronic devices. Audrey was fascinated.
That reminds me that I need to collect some electronic junk for the girls to take apart!
One of our favorite things about Maker Faire is the gyro booth that is there every year. It did not disappoint.
Oh, and Audrey always loves to climb on the big spider-web-like thing in the Hall of Science playground.
