the art critic.

we know it's already tuesday, but we just wanted to let everyone know that mercer had a fun weekend. mommy was out of town visiting friends, so on saturday, grandpa came up to visit for a boy's day out. we drove up to beacon, ny and visited the dia:beacon museum, which houses all kinds of contemporary art, including pieces by richard serra, andy warhol, dan flavin, and blinky palermo (clearly, the best name ever). mercer was well-behaved and enjoyed looking at all of the colors, shapes, and sculptures.

once we finished up there, we took a quick detour to poughkeepsie to visit what must be one of the greatest beverage stores in the country, called half time. the selection was mind-boggling, to say the least. even mercer had a good time climbing on top of the coors light boxes; probably the best use of coors light that pop can think of!

then it was back to base, where mercer slumbered gently into the night...
