We strike out for Austin, and make our way to the University of Texas. There, we see the history museum (but don&#8217;t go inside), the capitol building (but only from a distance), and the Blanton Museum of Art. We view the modern\/contemporary art section of the permanent collection, speed past the antiquities, and spend a luxurious amount of time viewing Birth of Cool, an exhibit focused on mid-century design, culture, furniture, and music. Much time spent watching a small girl spin wildly in an Eames chair. Our favorite? &#8220;Stacked Waters,&#8221; the acrylic installation by Teresita Fernandez. Beautiful, restful, makes you want to stand in the atrium forever.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/slideShow\/index.gne?group_id=&amp;user_id=77929147@N00&amp;set_id=72157615204497365\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" align=\"center\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/77929147@N00\/sets\/72157615204497365\/\">View the Flickr album<\/a> or <a href=\"#\">View as a Slideshow in a new window<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium\" title=\"Austin, Tx\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/77929147@N00\/sets\/72157615204497365\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3555\/3354418045_16319b13f5.jpg\" alt=\"Austin, Tx\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday, March 14.
