Another weekend almost over

Middle daughter was up at 4:30am this morning - which is the time I usually get up for work. Wouldn't have been bad if it weren't that I had stayed up somewhat late working on the blog, and so added significantly to my sleep debt. I suspect that will catch up with me one of these days...


Our main outing for the day was to the McNay Art Museum here in San Antonio. The lady responsible for it had great taste in 19th and 20th Century art. So the collection includes works from Monet, Picasso, and others.


Equally important (from our standpoint), they've worked hard to make the museum handicapped accessible. If I use my middle daughter's sport stroller rather than her wheelchair I can go just about anywhere in the museum with her. Of course she's getting a little large for it (she's 9, but shorter than her 7 year old younger sister), but as long as we can get by with it we probably will.


I should add that she can walk for short distances - so she's not restricted to her chair. But for almost any outing it's easier all around for her to be pushed. That's one of the reasons that I'm looking forward to our planned trip this summer. We're looking at going to Carlsbad Caverns - which is one of the few caves that is handicapped accessible. Hopefully I'll get some of my cave pictures up from the local caves soon. But all of the local caves require you to be able to go up and down several long, steep sections. So I haven't been able to go since the family got down here in mid-September.


Oh well, I guess that's enough for one day :-)
