Christmas with Mom in Arkansas

12/19/2021

It is a tradition to spend "Christmas" with my Mom doing something special. Today we started our day by riding the Arkansas & Missouri Railroad Holiday Train (*think "Polar Express"  without the licensing). Then we went back to Mom's house for an amazing lunch. After a quick change into 'fancy clothes' for the theatre, we headed to Fort Smith to watch the Nutcracker Ballet.  Overall, a fantastic day for all!

Yayoi Kasama's Mirrored Room

I finally got to experience Yayoi Kusama's mirrored room "My Heart is Dancing Into the Universe" at Crystal Bridges in Arkansas. It was amazing and everthing I was hoping for. Her art is beautiful and her story is very touching. 

Note: We were hoping to go on a previous trip, but it had not opened yet when we were at Crystal Bridges.  We had also tried to go to one of Yayoi Kusama's installations in Japan in 2020, but that was closed, too.  *I am looking forward to a world where these closures are much more rare.
