Taking in a little culture





Today we went to the North Carolina Museum of Art . We had a great time looking at classic works of art. The museum has Classic Roman and Greek portraits, pottery, and statues ( yes, they were anatomically correct - insert Alyssa's giggle, Andrew's embarrassment and Aryn's shock here ) as well as many Renaissance and current American works as well . Some of the Greek work was from 400-600 BC hard to imagine being so close to something that is over 2000 years old. Today it was raining so it was a good day to be inside. The museum has a large outdoor art gallery as well . We will have to do that at another time. We thought we would share some of our culture and insights from today's journey w/ you .... Enjoy

After our culture for the day we surprised Dad at work with a few cookies from Fresh Market.
