An unexpected day at the High Museum

My sister-in-law, Rissy, was in town and had just helped me pull off the cutest birthday party for my one year old, Matthew, so an adult afternoon was definitely in order. We started off with the most unbelievable chilled lobster rolls from 'The Big Ketch' on Roswell Rd; I'd never been before, but heard the atmosphere was perfect for an afternoon seafood lunch (thanks to a friends FB post). Let me just say, the lobster rolls were absolutely delicious & more. That lemon aioli really does 'up the ante' on every bite and the celery gives it just enough crunch paired with that SO SO SOFT buttered brioche bun. I did say 'adult' afternoon right? So I started off with a lovely glass of prosecco (cheers to the end of summer). After lunch, it was off to the High Museum we went.

My last visit was in May, but had yet to experience the African-American exhibit; it's an absolute must see - just enough art not to overwhelm you, but still enough to keep you interested and wanting more.

As a mom of two little ones, I couldn't help but get excited for the Mo Willems exhibit (the author and illustrator known for his humorous children's books on pigeons); my kids really love "The Pigeon needs a Bath" (it's a surprise to me that the cover is still attached to the book, the way they tear it apart from each other). I must say, we had a wonderful day. Enjoy the photos.

Until next entry. Xx
