Museum exhaustion

Strolled around a museum with my 6 yr old daughter. No marathon, just a leisurely afternoon. So why am I just drained and exhausted from it.

Maybe I was bored, or mentally tapped. Is that even possible? I hated to go home knowing a real workout was still ahead, but I did it.

I really pushed, but now I am ready to just melt into the mattress and sleep until noon tomorrow!

    You did stuff. And things. Now you're tired.


    Such mystery.

    You were walking on concrete floors all day.

    Sometimes people get tired.

    Did I answer your question? Was there a question?

    I'm now tired.

    6 year olds are little vampires.
    They suck the strength out of stone.

    Wait until they are 11 and 13.
    Not that I would know.
    Nope.

    Museums are tiresome! it's the slow strolling, stopping to look at things, and strolling on. It does help to have a good set of core, upper back and chest muscles as that keeps you more upright without having to use too much energy on that during those museum visits.

    I shouldn't have put a question mark there. lol. I meant yes, museums and especially visiting museums with children, is exhausting.

    I need to bring snacks to museums and be taken out for dinner after. Then I go straight to bed.

    I call it "museum fatigue." It's at least partly a mental thing for me, plus those hard floors. When I went to a HUGE Hockney show with another painter, and had someone to talk to about the paintings in great technical detail, I wasn't tired at all.

    Truth is that museums (especially the big ones) shouldn't be visited all at once.
