Heritage Farmstead Museum | Part II

February 4, 2021 by Elizabeth Casa de Calvo

Plano, TX ~ This is an amazing place that offers educational workshops and a historical look at homesteading in the late 1800s and early 1900s. We really enjoyed their Easter Egg Hunt experience, with farm animals and live demonstrations.

Museum of Modern Art

December 30, 2018 by Elizabeth Casa de Calvo

New York, NY ~ These photos were taken in 2015. I was thrilled to see the museum, but I was far more excited to see the Bjork exhibit on display that summer. Sadly, photos were not allowed for most of her exhibit, but I did manage to get one set. Elvis Costello, another all time favorite, also made the cut. Good times!
