Ok good, now we are going to go home and take showers and change clothes and then go out to eat. There is this nice restaurant called the  Plate of Blue we can go there for lunch and then we can go to this art museum that I would like to take us to. And any way we can walk the food off that we just ate. Lunch was long and good we was there for almost three hours.  We can walk down the street to the museum and look around as we walk ok everyone. Yes auntie. The museum was nice I really like the different kinds of art all in one museum.  Wow auntie there was European medieval architecture, sculpture and decorative arts, with a focus on the Romanesque and Gothic periods. And the  modern and contemporary art International Style this museum even had Modern architecture, Contemporary architecture  preservation of the art and cultures of the Himalayas, India and neighboring regions, with a permanent collection focused particularly on Tibetan art and the 20th- and 21st-century American art. Wow Corinna I didn't know that you knew that much about art.  Ok Otta, Hanna, Napa, and Corina let's go home it is almost six in the evening we can take our showers and dress for bed and watch some television and then eat dinner. Hey Auntie said Hanna let's rent some movies on the way home so after we finished eating we can watch some movies.
