Storm King Art Center

Daddy took a sick day and we all decided to head north to Storm King Art Center. It is a giant state park near near Bear Mountain that has a huge collection of American and European steel sculptures from the 1960's to the present.

The weather was gorgeous and we were ready to enjoy being out of the city and OUTSIDE! It's been a long winter. We packed a lunch and started our own tour of the grounds.

All wheeled up and ready to go

Zoe and Daddy in The Storm King Wall

As you can see, I really liked the Storm King Wall. I have to admit it was the whole reason I wanted to go to Storm King in the first place. When you see it and think about how each stone was laid by hand and just how many there are in this rambling structure, it's just astounding. I think Zoe dug it too. More for the acorn hunting I'm sure, but I can pretend.
