Museum Hopper

i went to the detroit institute of arts museum to see the rembrandt and the face of jesus exhibit.  it was really great. we bought tickets online the night before to reserve our viewing time.  our biggest gripe about the entire experience was the $3.50 "convenience fee" that was tacked onto each ticket purchased.  the ticket price was $16, so this "convenience fee" was almost 22% of the ticket price.  at this point, purchasing tickets online is cheaper for the museum since they do not have to employee someone to speak to me and they don't even have to print the ticket!  if they are really counting on this fee, just roll it into my admission price please; it would make me a little less grumpy while still getting the same amount of money out of me! we arrived a little early to the exhibit, which ended up being a good move since they had completely sold the exhibit out for the day.  they let people into the exhibit in batches, so it was fine that we got...

it has been too long!  sorry about completely missing november!  i am pretty embarrassed! over the past weekend, my friend, kate, and i went to universal studios florida for a girls' weekend.  we visited the two parks, universal studios and islands of adventure.  within universal studios, they have a lucille ball tribute titled, lucy - a tribute .   the museum is near the front of the park and is located adjacent to a shop.  they have about seven large displays focused on lucille ball, her career and personal life.   i knew about i love lucy obviously, but was not as aware of the rest of her career including many movies.  it was great to see all of the awards she had received in her life and learn more about how she started the i love lucy show with her husband, desi arnaz .  she appeared on the cover of the tv guide more than any person ever has. times in museum: 20 minutes times visited: 1 overall: B+
