Weekend Fun

An awesome weekend for sure! C and I headed up to Mass MoCA on Saturday. We made the long drive up, and were amazed as we started our trip through the Berkshires. As you probably know, there was a bitch of an ice storm that has left many residents of NH, as well as MA and VT with no power. We saw some of the aftermath. The tree-tops glazed with a coating of light reflecting ice. It wasn't too bad as we were heading there. We got on the twisty, windy road of RT 2, and as we crested the mountain, it was markedly more drastic! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING (except the road) was crusted with ice. There were lots of road crews out chainsawing trees so they wouldn't break and fall on cars driving past. It was pretty amazing. Beautiful for sure!

So we hit up the MoCA and saw lots of cool art. Some exhibits were better than others, but if you've never been, you should hit it up to see the building itself! It's located in a reclaimed factory building. Lots of big windows that let in plenty of light, and lots of cool architectural stuff going on. If it weren't so far away, I'd definitely have a membership. So much fun to visit!

We hit up Northampton on the way home for some burritos, used books and shoe shopping. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything I liked. Oh well. Also on the unfortunate tip, is the fact that I left my camera home, so no rad photos of the ice-trees. Next time....
