Ellis au musee
The day after Thanksgiving, my mom, sister, and I went to the Philadelphia Art Museum. Aside from a brief trip to the Rodin Museum when he was but a tender one month old, this was Ellis's first real museum experience. Since when we left the house, we were planning on going to the much smaller, cheaper Rodin Museum, I didn't bring the stroller. We decided en route, as we passed its classical perch on the bluff, to hit up the Big Art Museum. In the end, I'm glad all I had was the leash, because Ellis wandered, freely taking it all in. He loved it. He looked and looked, pointing at so many things. The atmosphere was festive, freshly festooned with Christmas regalia, serenaded in the middle to a live jazz band.
