MOMA and Central Park Zoo/モマとセントラル公園動物園へ行く

Saturdays are a fun day now that we have learned we can find parking in the city. We started by walking down Fifth Ave and visiting the Gap store which Anna has found quite a few cute outfits at lately for Madison. After the Gap we went across the street to the Modern Museum of Art, MOMA for short, and explored the museum. Anna gets in free thanks to her Liz Claiborne work ID and in the five years we have been here I still had never gone, so this was a first for Madison and myself. Obviously, since it took me five years to go to one of the greatest art museums in the world I am not the biggest art lover, but it was fun to see some of the more famous works.
土曜日はマンハッタンで簡単に車を駐車出来る日だから今日もちょっと行ってきました。まず最初に５番街を下ってギャップにマディソン用の可愛い服を買いに...コウキにもいろいろ見つけたよ！その後モマと言うとても有名なモダン美術館へ(アンナの会社で働くとほとんどの美術館は無料で入れるの！)デイヴは５年間ここに住んでいて初めての体験でマディソンにはもちろん生まれて初めての体験。デイヴは絵とか芸術にはあんまり興味ないんだけど有名な作品を見れたのが気に入ったみたい：）

Anna and Madison posed in front of this mammoth work by Jackson Pollack. Don't ask me what it is called, let's just call it Splatter.
ジャクソン ポロックの大きな作品、名前は何だろ...


Then we have one that I am sure everyone recognizes...Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh...it is Van Gogh right?
これはみんなも見た事あると思うヴァンゴッホ作の星空の夜...

Then there was a wing of works by Andy Warhol. Here is his Marilyn Monroe portrait.
そしてこれはアンディワーホール作のマリリンモンロー画。

Lastly, Madison wanted to pose in front of this sculpture by Pablo Picasso.
最後に、ピカソの彫刻の前で...

After the MOMA we headed back up town to 59th street and entered the park to do a first for everyone in the family...visit the Central Park Zoo...we actually decided to get a membership so for a year Anna can get two guests plus three kids in free to the Central Park, Bronx, Queens and Prospect Park Zoos and also the New York Aquarium which we are very excited about. So feel free to visit and bring two of your kids :-)
モマ美術館の後５９丁目まで上ってセントラル公園動物園に初めて行く事に...昨日の夜決めたのは１年間のメンバーの会費を払ってニューヨークにある動物園や水族館に行けるようにすること。楽しみ！楽しみ！

Here we are at the seal tank...Madison is sporting her new shade hat from the Gap...she didn't like it too much.
アザラシのタンクの前で...ギャップで買った帽子をかぶっているマディソン、気に入ってなさそうだったけど直射日光は良くないからね...

The zoo is pretty small, but you can get pretty close to some cool animals like these monkeys...
この動物園は他のに比べてとても小さいんだけど動物達の結構近くに行けるのが特徴...

and this polar bear.
シロクマさん。

Madison was not impressed.
気にもしてないマディソン。
