legion of honor.

for our adventure this week, the children and i ventured up to the legion of honor. if i didn't have them, i could have spent a lot more time there, i love art history. 

i mainly wanted to go because it's a fabulous photo op, but on tuesday when we didn't go inside because we were meeting dad for lunch, zak got very distraught and i told him we would come back on friday. 

unfortunately for him, he though the "pictures on the wall" would in fact, have trains on them, so he was bored after two rooms. the thing that kept him occupied was all of the naked sculptures/paintings that he could comment on after every time we passed one. "MOM! Why are they naked?? They look redonkulous! That lady needs a shirt on!"i'll admit i laughed at him. 

he actually did really well, and only got asked once to not touch the paintings. i'd say that's pretty impressive for a three year old. he's getting so cultured. haha. 

in any case, i had a great time looking at the pieces in there. it's pretty reasonably priced too, $10 for me  for me to get in and the kids are free up to age 12. i felt like i was in europe looking at the monet's and rodin's in there. if only. 

this picture sums up our days. they are seriously hilarious together. 

i had to bribe him to take pictures and be good inside with throwing money in the fountain. he ended up with 12 pennies by the end. which he thought was awesome. 

this place is truly amazing. one of my favorite places we've been so far, i think. 

i love that the legion of honor is 10 minutes from levi's school and it looks like this. so lush and old. it's pretty great. i'd recommend going there, even with kids, they can always use the experience. =)
