Friday, September 21, 2012: It's the vision thing

Today we drove into Baltimore.

Our first and major stop was the American Visionary Art Museum. This art is very similar to the grassroot art in Lucas, Kansas, full of color and whimsy. Outside the museum is a large mirror egg I hugged.

The first major piece we saw inside was The Bra Ball, like Cawker City's twine ball, but made of bras donated to the cause.

In the basement, was The Flatulence Post by Bob Benson (scroll down page). I recommend watching the video. This is an exhibit Austin would love.

Each May the American Visionary Art Museum sponsors an annual Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race. One of the museum's out buildings had several entries in this year's race.

After the museum, we followed Google Map instructions through narrow streets to Edger Allen Poe's house and museum. Unfortunately, it was closed.

Then we tried driving out of town east toward Annapolis. We made slow progress through Baltimore's after work traffic.

We are at a KOA camp just outside of town. This camp has a giant jumping pillow that even adults can jump up and down on.
