It's spring break here and my parents visited from Oregon. On Tuesday we saw "Amazing Grace," which I talked about earlier.

On Wednesday we hit the Dallas Museum of Art. Much to our delight, my daughter discovered a Mary Cassatt on the wall. We watched a video of her story a few months ago, which told of how Cassatt excelled as an artist when "woman" and "artist" didn't show up in the same sentence. We love her stuff, so the surprise of finding an original in our city made our trip.

On Thursday we saw Body Worlds, an exhibit in which we viewed human specimens, including entire bodies as well as individual organs and transparent body slices. Some of our group thought it was pretty cool and marveled at the miracle of human complexity. Others found it "creepy." We were unanimous, though in our positive assessment of the new IMAX movie, The Human Body.

We spent most nights in front of the DVD player. Jane Austen was the clear fave (we saw both "Pride and Prejudice," and "Emma"), but last night she got out-voted by "National Treasure." If your parents came to visit, what would you watch?
