Van Gogh Exhibit

Santa brought us tickets to the immersive Vincent Van Gogh exhibit. While I don’t think the boys were overly excited, it was a really nice evening out. In general, I would not say that we are an art appreciating family, so this made the art more approachable and fun. It is truly amazing that he only started painting at age 27 and died at age 37 - 10 years with over 2000 paintings completed. During the last 70 days of his life, he painted 70 paintings. 

We headed out around 4:15 and picked up D-man who was out with friends quite luckily only about 5 minutes from the exhibit. 

We watched the loop two times and then headed to Gaetano’s Italian restaurant (an old mob hangout). It’s one of two Italian restaurants in what used to be Denver’s Italian neighborhood. It was actually a perfect spot as Marshall and I have a tradition of going out for Italian food around Christmas. 

The outing also made it seem a little more like vacation - bonus!
