Where do you go when you just need to get away?

It has been a miserable day at work, you are tired of people and their problems, so where do you go? What is it about your place that makes you feel centered?
I always seem to develop these cravings for the modern wing at the Art Institute of Chicago (luckily, I’ll be there next week). There is something about staring into a Magritte or Picasso or even Monet that makes me feel like life is pretty good, after all. Museums are quiet, peaceful and usually full of beautiful or ingenious things. They are the perfect place (for me) to center myself and head back out into the “real” world.

I thought we could all use a little ‘escape’ today…
