A Visit to the Albuquerque Museum

Today we used our NARM pass to visit the Albuquerque Museum.  The museum has art as well as New Mexico history.  Their art collection is pretty solid and their current exhibit, O'Keeffe and Moore is really great.  Both O'Keeffe and Moore took inspiration from nature and bones.

Fun fact, we also get into the O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe for free but it appears that a lot of their paintings are on loan for this exhibit so we will probably skip it.

The whole museum and building are really cool.  It's a great museum to be in.

I took a Georgia O'Keeffe inspired photo on the way out.

Later that evening I headed back to Sister to play some pinball and practice on some machines I am less familiar with.  

I got photos of 2 of the 3 current banks of machines.  They are all in great shape and play really well.

My focus was Lord of the Rings and Monster Bash but there was 1.5 free credits on Attack From Mars so I put in 50 cents and played the 2 games and earned 2 more.  I also have never played tales of the Arabian Nights so I played that a bit and kind of understand it. 

That's it for today.  If you missed New Mexico's State Cookie, check it out.
