Champagne at Tiffany (no not that one, the one in Chicago)

Leave a comment

It wasn’t really the plan, but it did get one of the items scratched off the list! An afternoon at the MCA was topped only by a visit to Tiffany on the way back to the hotel to check out their wedding rings. Yeah, we got some.

Yeah, they are beautiful.

MCA Chicago: Our Favorite Stairway

2 Comments

We came to Chicago for art, and so art it was. On Sunday after arrival we had an excellent brunch at Marisol and then headed up to steep in the collection at the MCA.

No visit to the MCA is complete without a visit to the best stairway on the planet.

Mostly we were here for the astounding Eighth Blackbird. Sometimes when I perform my body has the same emotional response. But never when I watch. This is the future.
