August :: Nordic Heritage Museum

Somewhere along the way, Jeff and I decided we would like to visit a museum once every month. August seemed like the right time to start and why not the Nordic Heritage Museum that's only 4 blocks away?

Has anyone been there? I was completely blown away! Maybe my expectations were low...that's usually how I approach life- a pessimistic optimist, never disappointed and often pleasantly surprised. At any rate, it was wonderful and I highly recommend it. They did an excellent job with the aesthetics and there were plenty of things to learn if you are interested in reading every little sign (we sifted through it). I also enjoyed learning about our little town and how it was established, our house was built in 1900 and it's amazing to think about what this area looked like then and who might have lived in this very spot! Actually it creeps me out a bit, so I won't think about it long...


On our way to the museum we passed by this place...the location of Kyle & Kristen's wedding reception. We never realized how close it is to our house!





We saw this map and fell in love with it...we'd love it for the baby's room, but can't find a replica anywhere.







I think we'll try the Seattle Art Museum next, but we'll be in San Francisco next week so we may hit one up there.
