NC Museum of Art

After the Expo this morning I was SUPER hungry so I dropped my goodies off in my room and went to lunch!  I went to Nofo @ The Pig!  This restaurant is in an old Piggly Wiggly!!  I had a cup of black eye pea & veggie soup:

And a Blue Plate Special of Seafood (grouper) Tacos:

It was all very tasty!  The inside of the restaurant is decorated very interestingly and the upstairs is a store.  Here are my pics:

Locally made chocolate turtle for dessert ; )

After I had lunch I went to the North Carolina Museum of Art! 

I wasn't supposed to take a picture of this big frog (I didnt know this until later) but no one said anything.

a Gold pilot with planes sticking into him

This is wood with canvas and paint on top

Tiny heads on the wall - pretty creepy

This is a head dress made from feathers...very pretty colors

This is a headdress

a Roma mosaic floor

This is just a curtain lol but I thought it was neat

An actual Monet painting : )

Upside down, but not when you look through the crystal ball hehe

I also saw the Normal Rockwell exhibit which was great, but I was not allowed to take any photographs.

I wanted to eat somewhere local for dinner but I was so hungry and tired and traffic was bad - so, I ended up eating at Applebees!  I got French Onion Soup:

And Oriental Grilled Chicken Salad:

Both were very good!  A nice meal.

Then I hit up the art store to get something that was not at the expo:

Neocolors and some prisma-colors.

Ok friends, hope you enjoyed all the pictures!  Have a great night and I will be back again tomorrow!
