Philadelphia Freedom

Sadly our time in DC is coming to a close and we are trying to see a few things left on our bucket list despite our schedules. One of those has been the new Barnes Foundation Museum in Philadelphia, which is one of the largest collections of impressionist paintings. So we snuck away for a quick trip. Luckily, Leigh's aunt and uncle live nearby in Valley Forge and we are able to stay with them when we want to head up there. We spent time at the Barnes Foundation and then the Rodin Museum. These were both wonderful and perfectly matched our museum tolerance of 2-3 hours. Both of these museums have wonderful smartphone apps that will provide narrations for many pieces. We felt so much smarter afterwords.  If you are in Philadelphia, the Barnes Foundation should be on your list.  And now I'm just going to include several of my favorite pictures.
