As a group activity we visited The Metropolitan a little over a week ago. It is an amazing place to visit and I highly recommend it to anyone who visits New York City. The day that we went was called "Museum Mile" which is one day out of the year where all the museums in this mile long stretch open their doors to the public for free!
Don't get too excited though. Here is a little New Yorker inside information for furture reference. The Met has suggested prices, which means if you want you can ignore the suggested price and pay 50 cents. When we went back to the Met a second time (because its WAY too big to see it all in one day... or two days for that fact) that is exactly what we did. I handed over my two quarters and inside I went! Crazy right?
When she asked me how much I wanted to pay I timidly responded with 50 cents fearing the entire museum would stop in their tracks and stare at me with their condemning eyes. However nothing that dramatic happened. The lady simply took my quarters and handed me my cute little blue Met button. I felt very triumphant like I had just gotten away with something naughty. I was a little disappointed as I moved out of line when no one patted me on the back for knowing this little secret.
*sigh*
I am not sure if it is just for students or everyone but heck its awesome and super cheap! Us college kids love cheap!
Why I insist on toting around a giant bag of books... I shall never figure out.
Pretty statue fountain I loved.

I saw this little tea pot and thought of Mom. She has a collection at home in our kitchen.
Highly considered stealing it... but it was in a glass case and I don't think my parents would have liked to hear my explaination of being in a New York City jail.Sorry Mom.
All in all I love The Met. There is so much to see and the two times I have been we haven't even come close to seeing the entire museum, which is insane!
I'll hopefully update you with more images but there was so many I didn't know what to do with all of them.
Thanks again for reading!

I've always wanted to go to the Met! Ever since I read that book in the 6th grade about the brother and sister who lived in the Met! I don't remember what it was called! I need to find out and reread it! One of my favorite reads as a child! :)
