SF de young museum

the new year has helped motivate us to get back to checking 

off items on our bay area bucket list...when we go home to

visit for the holidays, we come back to california and realize

how lucky we are to be living here.. + that we have to take 

advantage of it! we hang out in golden gate park often, 

but somehow had never taken the time to stop into the 

de young museum.

when we are in the park we're usually there to 

go for a run or get our favorite twirl & dip ice cream. 

 so, we finally set aside an afternoon to explore this

place and it was a good choice--it's beautiful! i love that this 

museum is set inside the park, and the very best part 

is the tower...so if you don't have time to take in 

the entire museum, the tower is FREE and you can

go up and take in the gorgeous views of the city. aaanyway 

enough rambling, onto the museum! ps thank you 

husband, for being willing to go to museums & peruse art 

with me. you're such a gentleman and i love these dates!

^^ views from the tower.

^^ typical chase-- making friends with guides

everywhere he goes. he always wants to learn

and know as much as possible!

^^ bvlgari exhibit was a dream!

no pictures allowed in there, but 

basically the most beautiful jewels

you can imagine. gorgeous!

taking in more pretty views. there's nothing better

than a city museum with amazing views included...

just like the NYC MET and the pompideu in paris.

look closely, you can see 

d e  y o u n g 

etched in the wall.

while we were at it, we drove to the other side of gg park

to see the bison finally. yes, there are bison in golden

gate park right in the city. so weird but kind of worth

seeing! just another item on the bucket list.
