Sometimes you just gotta say, Someday....

I consider myself a pretty laid back vacationer. I’m not one of those people who plans an agenda and sticks to time slots. In fact, that drives me crazy. If someone wants to go to the beach, an M’s game, visit a great aunt, then great! I’m down. Lately though, I’ve been daydreaming of a completely selfish vacation. An art only vacation (well not only art, but with that purpose in mind).

This is my promise to myself. Someday, I will take a vacation that is purely for the love of art. I will not visit any family members. I will not bring my husband, daughter or dog. Unless of course they want to come, but there will be no compromises in this vacation, and I sure will not feel guilty for wanting to go to just one more gallery before lunch or visit every single exhibit at the Getty. I’ll do what I want and it will be glorious.

I’m about to take off for Los Angeles in the morning, and though I will undoubtedly have a great time with my parents, sisters, grandma and friends, I most likely will not see any art. It will be just out of my reach, as usual, because that’s not what this quick trip is about. This trip is about sharing the new Baby-Love with the family, and I love that, its just not art.
