Sweetie and I had decided to go see the "Lords of the Samurai" exhibit at the Asian Art Museum in SF friday when she got in.  Last year we had tried to see the Anime exhibit, but missed it by a few days, so this time we planned to go right away.  I didn't get nearly as lost on the way there as I usually do :)

We bought tickets and before going into the exhibit (which prohibited flash photography and was set in a very dark room) we went to this hands on exhibit.  To our delight there were kimonos to dress up in and a staged house to play in.  I know, I'm too old to be a kid, but when has that ever stopped me?!!  We dressed up and took a few pictures.

It's all about having the right clothes.  Right?  I mean, you can't be a bad ass wearing the wrong outfit.

I think this outfit puts me in charge or something.

We enjoyed the exhibit and then we treated ourselves to lunch in the Cafe.  This place has food that is better than most restaurants and the best Pearl Jasmine tea that we've ever tasted.  Refueled, we finished off the rest of the museum, enjoyed the native american dancers outside the museum and came home to rest up for our evening walk to the fru fru grocery store for one of their monster cookies.

    I love that first picture of you two, awesome kimonos.  Also, dare I say Uni, you can definitely tell you've lost weight, at least to me it looked like it!  Sounds like a fun time you guys had, and really interesting sounding.  Tasty lookin' food in that last pic, glad I'm still stuffed from earlier or else it might have made me hungry.
  • MsStar39 said on Jul 18, 2009....
    What a fun way to spend time together, you two in the kimonos were cool.
  • raindove said on Jul 19, 2009....
    The kimonos are awesome. You look lovely and your daughter is so beautiful and fresh looking.... How old is she?
  • queenparanoia said on Jul 19, 2009....
    you know i love japanese culture and food!!! lol.. thanks for sharing teh pics and you and sweetie look like you had a marvelous time... by the way i think anime exhibit are the best!!!lol... ;-)
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jul 19, 2009....
    Hege - we both really enjoyed the kimonos :)  yes, I've toned up a bit and may have lost actual weight, though I haven't stepped on a scale.  The food was delicious.  We enjoy eating there almost as much as taking in the art.
     
    MsStar - thanks, it was a fun day and that first pic may be my favorite of the day.
     
    rain - she is a pretty girl.  She's 15.
     
    queenie - we both are big fans of japanese culture and food too!  She's really into anime, while I only have a sketchy knowledge of it.
  • Psych-ed said on Jul 19, 2009....
    Wow that looks like so much fun! How long will the exhibit be there, my little sis would love it?
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jul 19, 2009....
    Psych-ed - It just started and I believe it's there until sometime in September.  You can check the website to be sure.  It was a good exhibit and of course their regular collection is always a lot of fun.
