Crystal Bridges Museum

WW Points

Life has been busy and fun these last several days, but for food…..I’ve eaten way too much!

I’ve tracked everything as best as I could. I’ve guessed on a lot of items over the last few days. I feel like it’s better to have an idea where I’m at than to not know at all. I’ve eaten my 49 Weekly Extra Points, I’ve eaten the activity points that I’ve earned, and I’ve eaten a few points that have now put me in the negative. The best thing that I can do is to keep tracking. This weekend coming up includes a visit from my daughter and her boyfriend, a wedding and our first KC Royals game this season. I’ll keep exercising, drinking water, thinking positive, making the best choices that I can in the different situations that I’m in, and tracking my points!

The Museum

Sunday morning, I slept in a bit, had coffee and watched one of my favorite TV shows, made breakfast, worked in the yard, showered, packed for a trip, had lunch at Mike’s parents with the family to celebrate Mike’s dad’s birthday, picked up a girlfriend of mine and together, we drove to Bentonville, Arkansas. Thats right. Road trip.

One of my favorite TV shows is CBS News Sunday Morning. I wouldn’t describe it as a news show, but more a show about “People”. Maybe a “Human Interest” show? I love sipping on my coffee on Sunday morning and hearing all of the great stories. I’ve got Mike hooked on it too.

Several months ago, they did a story on Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas. I decided, along with my friend, Becky, to take a road trip and visit the museum.

Sunday afternoon, we enjoyed our drive, got a hotel room, had a nice dinner out, watched some mindless TV and went to bed. Monday, we got coffee’s and Becky gave me a personal tour of Bentonville and some of it’s surrounding cities. She lived there for quite a while several years ago. 

Did you know that Bentonville, Arkansas is where Walmart’s Sam Walton opened his first 5-10 store ? Do you care?

Here is where it all began. I think it’s cute.

After our coffee and a nice drive, we hit up the museum.

We enjoyed art, lunch and wine, more art, and a great drive home getting in lots of great girly talk!

 

Here are a few of my favorites from the museum.

The first sculpture we saw……

 

Now that’s Big!

 

One of the reasons we wanted to go now…..

This is What I Will Accomplish in 2015

I will go no more than two days in a row without exercise. (I’ve done “two a day’s” to make up)

I will track every single day of the entire year. (I’ve only NOT tracked one weekend this year.)

I will run in a minimum of six 5K’s. Three down, three to go!
