WALKING BROADWAY & THE MOMA 

Tuesday I didn't go in for my internship because we left for Vermont Wednesday through Sunday. Since it was the last full day Stephen and I would be able to spend together in the city before his internship we tried to take advantage of it. 

Stephen & I started our day with an early workout and a lunch picnic on my dorm floor (haha). We decided to go to the Museum of Modern Art because rainy weather. We walked four miles up Broadway huddled under an umbrella / in matching nikes (haha, yikes). 

We made a lot of shopping stops along the way. I think we hit like five JCrews in search of an XL rain coat for Stephen (and of course once we found it it was still too short). 
 .... then finally got to the MOMA. 

^^ a street view from the museum that I loved 

Modern art is definitely not a favorite for either of us. Maybe we are not deep enough to understand of the intellectual/hidden messages so we passed through about 90 percent of the museum pretty quickly. 

We loved this African American immigration exhibit though!
 The exhibit told the story of immigration from southern to northern states in America. There were 50 paintings with captions that went along with them. It was a good walk through history from a different perspective. They also had a media exhibit honoring the great African American entertainers with music and photographs-- loved that.

"When you think about it, department stores are kind of like museums" 

...I've been saying this my whole life, Andy!!!

That night (because it was STILL raining) we grabbed dinner, ran a few more errands and watched Serendipity while our experience from the night before was so fresh and happy in our minds :)
