Today we went to the Albany Institute of History and Art. My parents friend, Hudson Talbott, is an author and they were doing a special event for his new book River of Dreams, about the history of the Hudson River.
A local composer had turned his book into a musical that was performed at local school districts. They had one of the groups of students come and perform some of the songs from the book as Hudson read the book!
It was pretty neat. Brian posted a bit of video about it.. click here.
This time we nearly got out of the museum without anyone touching and breaking something!! Of course the FIRST thing one of our kids touched fell down!! Fortunately it was a foam board sign at an exhibit that looked like it had fallen down a few times already!! Eeks.. it wasn’t held up by much just double stick tape..
Other than that we all pretty much came out unscathed. It’s a nice museum if you are in the area you should visit!
