one sunshiny weekend towards the middle of august, anna & i set off to do some exploring, experience a little italian culture & soak up some beautiful art. little italy was celebrating the feast of assumption so the streets were lined with italian food vendors from all over the city! what better way to experience a culture, right?!
after walking around a bit, we discovered a 3-story-church-turned-antique-store which was jam-packed with anything & everything. we poured through rooms of treasures, amazed at all they had under one roof! after we finally pulled ourselves away from all of the interesting things in that shop & toured a few small galleries, our focus was on finding something to eat.
it took some time to decide what we wanted due to so many options but in the end, we each got to try yummy new foods:) ravioli & a cannoli for anna, eggplant rollatini & tiramisu for me.
the cleveland museum of art was next on our list and we managed to fit in an hour of gallery browsing before they closed. visiting a place like that with anna was so great because she's an art/illustration major & knows so much about many of the artists/the way the art was created which helps me to appreciate it all the more! my favorite gallery was "modern gothic: the etchings of john taylor arms" while anna loved the impressionists gallery with rembrandt, monet, degas, van gogh...
it was such a fun afternoon and i'm so blessed to share those memories with you anna!

my desert choice: tiramisu
anna's desert choice: a freshly made canolli
most of the art museum was under construction but there is some stunning architecture on display and i can't wait to see it again someday when it's all finished!
