For this event, we got to see the cherry blossom trees in full bloom in Central Park.

On a sunny and warm late winter evening, we met in one of the quieter regions of Manhattan: the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. This museum is located on the Museum Mile (5th Ave.) right across from Central Park.

An unseasonably warm February evening, and coincidentally my Mom's birthday, began inside a star.

What differentiated this outing from the vast majority of indoor places we went to?

We visited a number of different rooms with interesting sights and activities.
