there is an old cliché under your Monet

This weekend was as busy as the last one, but it was was gentler somehow.

Yesterday, I had plans to meet up with my friends to go to the De Young Museum to see the Monet exhibit.

My mom dropped me off at BART and I took the 28 down 19th avenue. I have to say, every time I ride the 28, I hate it! :D I hate that MUNI is such a wild west and people don't fucking pay and just do whatever they want. Thankfully, it wasn't a very long ride because I was getting off at Golden Gate Park.

It was such a beautiful day. I was waiting outside the museum for my two friends. The De Young is.... NOT my favourite museum, but it's very beautiful on the outside. I love the pond so much. I actually think it's my favourite thing about the whole museum, and I wish that more things were this whimsical.

We went in when all three of us arrived and got our timed tickets to return. Whilst we were waiting, we went to the Japanese Tea Garden next door to have some lunch! I love being a member to the Gardens of Golden Gate Park because I got us all in for free! It was a beautiful day and the Japanese Tea Garden looked especially fresh and green.

I love feeling well fed, hahahaha

It was finally our return time and we were there mostly to see the special Monet exhibition. It was absolutely PACKED.

I absolutely adore this frame.

These paintings were lovely in person, although I have to be quite honest, I think that this whole period of art is awful (lmao). I just think it looks sloppy.
