local lovin' [crocker art museum]

this afternoon the husband & I took advantage of me having a minimum day

so it was time to visit the Crocker Art Museum here in Sacramento

and having a groupon didn't hurt either

I hadn't been since the opening of the brand new addition so I was excited to go

things are pretty fancy now

including these cool little stickers you wear as your "ticket"

I must admit, my favorite part is still the original museum

where the collection of the Crocker family is displayed in what was once their home

any 19th century home built for a family with that much wealth is something to see

all on it's own

sure, there were countless pieces of art around us

but the husband and I spent more time noticing the woodwork details 

the doors, the hinges in the doors, the bannisters, the floors, and the ceilings

but all in all, it was a pretty great way to spend the later part of the day

however, I did need a nap when I got home

something I'm thinking little lewis is going to need 

a lot more of this summer
