It's true, I spread myself too thin and get anxiety from sitting still. Sometimes I work all weekend and still feel the need to do something! Well, yesterday, was no exception to my move-move-move behavior.
After waking up around 8:30am, I flipped on CBS for some Sunday Morning program and proceeded to tidy up the house, brew coffee, and start making something yummy for breakfast. Our normal potatoes where frying in the skillet and when I transferred them to the oven I had an epiphany.
"We should go to a museum today", my mind said distinctly.
"How marvelous!?", my heart responded.
It was settled. I would make some delicious french toast, have breakfast with my man, and then get ready for the Nassau County Museum of Art.
We devoured our carb loaded meal and headed north on Northern Blvd to one of my favorite areas.
I could barely contain myself the whole 20 minute drive. The day was looking beautiful, regardless of the mugginess. The trees were lush and full and the sky was blue as blue and adorned with white cumulus.
The left turn after the bridge led us down a long, windy driveway and opened up to 145 acres of sculpture, gardens, and the museum.
"Magic", I whispered through my gasping breath.
Napoleon was the main exhibit and Alice In Wonderland was down in the miniature building. Families of young and old strolled the grounds admiring the beauty that surrounded them. My eyes were wide open the entire time and I believe I forgot how to breathe everytime we turned a corner.
Unfortunately I get carried away in these posts, so I do apologize for the length. It's just that there is no way to describe such a tranquil setting in only a few paragraphs. So I'll say this: just go!
I can't wait to return.
