It was so interesting &#8211; the guide was fabulous.  I loved seeing this helmet was still there over his easel &#8211; I remember it being in that famous picture of him doing his self portrait \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13651-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13651-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10087\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13651-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13651-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13651-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13651-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13651-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13651-690x518.jpg 690w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13651-980x735.jpg 980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This was something really cool that we didn&#8217;t expect to see.  Twice a year the Norman Rockwell Museum hosts exhibits of different illustrators and their illustrations.  This one was one children&#8217;s and young adult books and magazines.  There was a lot of information in the museum about Norman Rockwell&#8217;s work with the Boy Scouts &#8211; his longest affiliation with any company or organization, including the Saturday Evening Post, which of course is what he&#8217;s most famous for.  I thought this was a cool picture, even though he didn&#8217;t draw it, and some cool information about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13821-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13821-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13821-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13821-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13821-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13821-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13821-690x920.jpg 690w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13821-980x1307.jpg 980w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13821-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13831-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13831-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10089\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13831-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13831-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13831-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13831-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13831-690x920.jpg 690w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13831-980x1307.jpg 980w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_13831-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday of our Massachusetts vacation, Jeff, June, &amp; I headed to the Norman Rockwell Museum.
