Travel with the Met

I am 1 part adventurous, 1 part nerdy, and 1 part foodie. 

So when it comes to traveling, I love a good tour.  

I am a proud member of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. So when I got their recent

"Travel with the Met" brochures I was beyond excited. 



I was like Ralphie when he got his Orphan Annie secret decoder ring.

I get this way every time I get something from The Met, White Horse Inn, and Anthropologie...and any fun snail mail from friends and family of course.

 Anyhoo...Check out some of these great tours The Met offers and let your

nerdy, foodie, adventurous self enjoy...

The Met is just so cool on so many levels...hosting travel tours definitely takes the cake for me.       

I won't be able to go on any of these awesome tours this year, but there is always next year...and I don't think the Met is going anywhere, at least not in my lifetime I hope.

Happy Travels!
