Mr. Harris goes to Chicago

For the first time, my wife surprised me with a trip to Chicago for my birthday.  I have always wanted to go and, BLAM, my wife drops one of the best gifts an art teacher could get, in my lap.

Chicago

I have only seen many of these artworks in books or on the net.  I can not express to my students and fellow art educators how important it is to see them in person.  I take the Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City for granted since I have visited it a bazillion times.  It was so refreshing seeing all of this culture first hand.  CS students, it is my goal for us to visit Chicago in the next 4 years.  Get ready.
