Sister Sunday

This past Sunday, I went to RVA to spend the day with my little sister, Ashley.  Our first stop was some breakfast.  Ashley is expecting (A GIRL....yey,  :) I can't wait to meet her.) so they had to eat.  We went to Dixie Donuts.


It was cool that they had specialty donuts, 'Chihuly' b/c that's what we were going to see.

Display case of donuts.

Baggy with our donuts.  They were so yummy.  I got chocolate and loved it.  Ashley got an old-fashioned vanilla cupcake.  She said it was really good.

Next stop, after we finally found parking on the street we went to the Virginia Museum of fine arts to check out the Chihuly exhibit.

And here's some pictures from the exhibit.....


If you've ever been to The Bellagio in Las Vegas then you'll recognize the ceiling glass art.


There was a room full of glass art.  I wished there had been a piece to touch but that's against the rules.

The was pretty cool.  It was kinda like lightening.


We figured since the Chihuly exhibit was not as big as we thought it would be we decided to check out the FREE exhibits.  Why not right?  We were already there.  So we walking around checking everything.  Then we were hungry for lunch and went to Joe's Inn.  Ashley treated me to lunch.  We shared some mozzarella sticks and both got a cheeseburger with fries with water to drink.  It was good.

Then we headed to Stoney Point Fashion Park Mall.  First stop was Sur La Table.  Love this store.  There's so many things I would go buy if I had a ton of money.  haha  :)  
We went to Anthropologie and found lots of cute little things like these....


and these.....

and these....

We walked the mall.  It's an outside mall and it allows you to bring your dogs.  That's weird to me.  I'm not a dog person.  Big dogs especially scare me, and make me uncomfortable.  I'd much rather not shop with a dog but it is what it is.  

We both wanted something sweet so we went to Cary Town to Sweet Frog to get some yogurt.  Then we headed back to Ashley's apartment and hung out for a bit.  We checked out the home office and tried to figure out how to make it more organized.  After talking about it and checking out the Target ad we decided to go to Target.  We stopped at Ross on the way and to see if there was anything there.  We left without buying anything.  Then we went to Target where Ashley bought a bunch of fabric bins for the office.  They are on sale this week.  YEY!  We then went to Kroger so Ashley could pick up a few things she needed.  I was getting hungry for dinner so we decided on Little Caesars Pizza and we went back to the apartment to eat and hang out.  It was a awesome day!  Ashley thanks again for the fun sister day.  We need to do it more often.  :)
