At DIA

The Detroit Institute of Art stays open late on Fridays and brings in live music. I love museums, and I love it when museums stay open late. My girls wanted dinner, and since you can almost always count on major museums to have food too, we went.

Stella had polished off her hot dog before I could even get the camera out. They liked their desserts and discovered that they were best shared. That's why Danielle moved to Stella's side.

Then we made our way through the exhibits.

One really cool thing about DIA is that they have these eye-spy games in almost every room. Each one has a hint about a certain object in the room. The answer is under the flap.

It gives kids something to look for and learn about. As a parent, it's appreciated.

Our visit to the museum ended with a far too much time spent in the gift shop. It shouldn't surprise anyone to read that I really love museum shops. We walked out with a glitter-filled bouncy ball for each girl.

Here's Danielle with hers, just as we were on our way to the hotel for the night.
