American Visionary Art Museum

We had fun checking out the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore one afternoon last week. We had just returned from Philadelphia the day before, but I had wanted to take the kids here for awhile and spring break seemed like a good time since Amelia could join us. Ben was working at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore that day so he was able to meet us at the museum which was a huge bonus.

It turned out to be a fantastic museum and great for the kids. They were fascinated by the fun sculptures and whimsical art. The girls were especially excited about the giant nest on one of the buildings and even more excited when they found out they could go IN the nest. The Cabaret Mechanical Theatre automata was a favorite of everyone (you got to push a button for each mechanical sculpture and see them move).

No photos were allowed inside but there was plenty to photograph outside.

A rare photo of me. And proof that I'm carrying what is apparently a gigantic baby (at least according to my doctor at my 37 week appointment today).

Excited to be in the nest!

Getting ready to hatch.
