Sunday Funday: The Presidio of San Francisco and a Visit to The Walt Disney Family Museum's Mary Blair Exhibit - Makeup and Beauty Blog

Have you e'er been to the Presidio in San Francisco? It's a park and erstwhile military base of operations on the northern tip of the peninsula that makes up the whole city.

Information technology's recognizable by the red ceramic tiled roofs of the buildings, which are mostly former war machine offices and barracks. At present many of them are habitation to museums, schools and businesses, like Lucasfilm (yup, Star Wars), which has a large presence there.

Yesterday El Hub and I drove down to striking upward The Walt Disney Family Museum, which we'd never visited before, and we're both huge Disney fans.

We arrived to a pleasant surprise.

FOOD!

Off The Grid is this large jamboree of fancy nutrient trucks and food stands. Lots of interesting, eclectic eats. They hold them in a few different parts of the Bay Area, usually one twenty-four hour period a week. We didn't know this ahead of time, but it was being held yesterday right beyond from the museum.

I concluded up having a wild body of water bass salmon ringlet for luncheon and a salted caramel creme brulee for dessert. El Hub had a mixed plate of Vietnamese-style barbecue chicken and rice.

Later that, with full tummies, we headed to the museum.

I'd wanted to go to the museum because yesterday was the final day of their Mary Blair exhibit.

Mary Blair was an influential member of the Disney animation team during the '40s and '50s era. Classically trained as a fine creative person, she was known for bringing a very colorful, playful creative style. Amid her many contributions to the Disney movies from that time, she as well designed the theme and artwork for Disneyland's It's a Small Globe.

What a fantastic exhibit and I came away feeling inspired.

Much of Mary's artwork conveys a child-like sense of wonder that I want to aqueduct myself, just it's tough sometimes, y'all know, when it's buried under so much ho-hum blah-blah-blah adult stuff.

Past the time we finished studying Mary'southward exhibit, El Hub and I were starting to get a little tired, so we sped through the rest of the museum, which is actually worth an entire trip, just for the backstory on Disney's beginnings (and Mr. Disney's life before he'd ever drawn his offset Mickey Mouse ).

In the '20s, '30s and '40s, especially, the Disney visitor pioneered many of the cartoon and blitheness techniques that are still in use around the earth today.

I definitely plan to get back when I need some of that patented Disney magic. 🙂
