Jen and I took a day trip with some friends to the Met Cloisters. I had never heard of them before, but they are a branch of the Met Museum that is dedicated to the art, architecture, and gardens of medieval Europe. A lot of the features were taken from actual medieval buildings in Europe and reassembled in New York. It was pretty amazing. It was also our longest trip since moving, the cloisters are located pretty far north of Manhattan. The subway ride was about an hour in total. Anyway, here are some cool pics.

Edit: I just realized this is our first post without cats! 😹
