Chihuly

Today we took a trip up to the city with my parents and Kai to see Chihuly at the de Young. For those of you who don't recognize the name, Dale Chihuly is a world-renowned artist who has taken glass blowing to a whole new level. He creates MASSIVE collections of glass sculpture (usually with a team that works under his vision), combining the most intricate pieces, lines and colors and turning them into beautiful works of art.

The exhibit at de Young is enormous. Showcasing eleven galleries, it is one of the largest exhibits of his work I believe. If you have a spare afternoon and can get tickets, I would highly suggest going to see it!! :)

As you can see, I went crazy with the camera, but his work was so phenomenal and gorgeous, that I had to attempt at capturing it all! Still, most of my pics don't do his work justice. It's just one of those things "you have to be there" for. And, as you might imagine, flash isn't allowed inside the exhibit, and it was pretty dark, so I don't have many at all of us or Logan, but trust me when I say Logan was a trooper!! :) He hung with Daddy the entire time (in our Ergo Carrier since strollers weren't allowed inside) and only fussed a couple times when he got bored or tired.

This one is a close up of the glass "Chandeliers" which was Logan's favorite of them all. He really enjoyed looking up at the huge glowing blobs of different colored glass :)

Afterwards we all headed off to Ti Couz, a favorite restaurant of ours, and stuffed ourselves silly with scrumptiously decadent crepes. Yummmm....

We had a fabulous time today, what a wonderful ending to a beautiful weekend!
