My mom came to visit and we were happy to have her! She got here Thursday and will leave EARLY tomorrow morning.
*Thursday we took her to a very delicious Japanese restaurant called Sticky Rice. After a yummy dinner, we went shopping for another yummy dinner we were planning for the following evening. We wanted to make Cafe Rio pork!
*Friday Ben stayed home and studied for school while my mom and I went and did some must do's in Richmond. We went to the Holocaust Museum which we loved. After that, we went to Moe's which has become my Cafe Rio/Bajios substitute. Then, we went to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. By the time we got home our Pork in the crock pot smelled so good and it was almost time for dinner! The Andersons came over to join us and we had salads and burritos. To end the evening off right, we played some games!
*Saturday Ben joined us for our Richmond must do's. We went to Meadow Farm Museum which we all really enjoyed. The house on the farm was built in 1860 and the museum showed us what it was like to live in the 19th century. The area around the farm was great and we really enjoyed the view. Then we went over to Maymont Park which had an even better view! I took a ton of pictures there. We took a tour of a mansion built in the 1890's. After all the walking around and exploring we did during the day we were ready for a good dinner so we headed over to Cheesecake Factory. We got some really good cheesecakes for dessert and are perfectly content with ourselves :)
