Happy birthday to Rob!

We did something rather unusual yet fun to celebrate. I picked up Fiona from school, brought her home for dinner, and then we went to the Minneapolis Institute of Art for their special visiting exhibit of the Terracotta warriors of the Qin Dynasty. A once in a lifetime opportunity, and exceedingly interesting. There were 120 objects from the tomb, including eight warriors and two terracotta horses. Since this was the Third Thursday event, the tickets to get in to see the exhibit, ordinarily $18 for adults and $9 for students, were free. Such a deal! The exhibit will be at the museum until January 20.

We all really enjoyed it, although after we saw the Terracotta warriors, Delia, my avaricious art lover, spent much of her time in the museum gift shop rather than wandering the rest of the museum.
