Elizabeth:  Nice that the museums in your area are providing an activity to get people in the mood to visit!  Museums are a great place for parents to bring their children and stimulate some intellectual ideas!

A couple of years ago I took an Art Appreciation class and one of the things that we had to do was visit an art museum. I had never been to one before. My husband reluctantly went with me. We ended up enjoying it greatly. There is something for everyone, believe it or not! Even for my reluctant husband! Nice localism post!

Elizabeth, It's all free? My wife and I enjoy art exhibitions, and I like free.  So the museum walk is my kind of outing, and I wish it was closer to enjoy it.

Out here, the Packard Foundation (of Hewlett Packard) permanently endowed the San Jose Art Museum so admission is always free for all visitors.

Elizabeth - a great staycation for all but especially for those who are feeling a little pinched at this time. Free outings are a great way to enjoy what is offered locally keeping expenses to a minimum.
