We stopped in Richmond and had lunch at Buz and Ned's, a yummy bbq place:
We also stopped at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond to see the Picasso exhibit. Richmond is the only East coast stop for this exhibit which features art from the Musée National Picasso in Paris while it is being renovated. The exhibit was fantastic. It represented works produced during every major artistic period of Pablo Picasso’s eight-decade career. Definitely an amazing opportunity. Amelia was intrigued by the cubism paintings, trying to decipher what was going on. The kids did really well in the museum. They have some really beautiful landscaping outside with some fun fountains so we enjoyed some outdoor time before getting back on the road.
(The girls really loved hanging out in these chairs.)
We drove to Wilson, North Carolina, where we spent three nights. It was near the hospital where Ben had to work Tuesday and Wednesday. The girls loved staying in hotels every night and were most excited about the continental breakfast each morning. Amelia was thrilled with the amount of choices (apparently my breakfast offerings at home are pretty meager).
First order of business at the hotel was swimming. We decided to stick Oliver in the pool and see how he liked it. He loved it! The girls could have stayed in the pool all night. We had a late dinner at our new favorite North Carolina chain, Cook Out. Good burgers, fantastic shakes, and super cheap. We went twice while we were there.
