5th
Coldest ArtWalk Yet!
Another first Wednesday come and gone. I took the kids to ArtWalk in downtown Jacksonville last night. Even though the temperature was about 34 degrees, not including the wind chill, we had a blast.
We started at The Carling. They had some great portraits of some of the different people groups here in Jacksonville. They also had hot chocolate and cookies, which made all the difference in the world to the kids.
We also checked out the basement of the old Hayden Library at the corner of East Adams and Ocean Street. They had a couple of spots where anyone could paint on the walls or different canvases. The kids and I did some pretty interesting work.
We finished the night by taking Jeffrey Harrington’s (hdesign) advice and checking out the MOCA. They were having a great exhibit titled “Why Look at Animals?” It was fantastic. The kids also showed me the kids exhibition they have on the 5th floor.
The night ended with the all too familar crying and tantrums (kids can only be so good after 8pm you know) but also with a great surprise question. “Can we do that again sometime, dad?” Ahhhh.
