Richmond Science Museum | Personal

For a Christmas gift, Nick and I took his two nephews Ethan and Ashton to the Richmond Science Museum this past weekend . . . thankfully we survived! We survived the "I have to go to the bathroom" five minutes after getting on the road, the "are we there yet?" ten minutes after getting on the road and the giant Plaza bill Ashton racked up! That kid can chow down . . . not sure where it goes! But I think they enjoyed the museum and by the time we finished settling in for the space show, they were knocked out! Successful day for all!

Smithfield and Surry Adventure | Personal

Last Saturday, Nick and I went roaming around Smithfield and Surry. It was a really nice day and the drive was so much fun! We took my camera and my Dad's camera along for the ride so I could get some pictures for class and get some practice in. We passed this one barn or barns that were really torn down, but they were beautiful! I love Rustic America. As we drove through downtown I saw two churches that I really liked, it's something about the way churches are built, especially older ones. Finally we went to Bacon's Castle, which was unfortunately closed to inside tours because it's still kind of torn up from the hurricane. But we went cotton pickin'!
