The Met with Mr. Ben

I took Ben to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York a couple of weeks ago -- and he was fascinated with the mummies, the knights, and the swords. He also liked seeing some of the paintings we have looked at in books...and leaning on all of the priceless statues! It was a real treat for me as this is one of my favorite museums. Here are some of the things we saw:

A mermaid with which Ben was fascinated.



A close-up of some of the knight's armor we saw.



Ben sitting in front of a mosaic fountain that we both loved.


Having lunch with Mom in the fancy museum cafe...he rejected much of the food -- even though he did try it and made a grand effort to eat it...he immediately requested a hot dog when we stepped outside the Museum's front door.
