Off to Baltimore, with a stop in Norfolk

I know that I am a brave woman for putting a picture of me in my pajamas and bed hair. But it was a cute cuddle moment for Emerson and family TV Curious George watching moment, so it's worth it
The reason for a stop in Norfolk, VA, was two-fold: first, it's a nice half-way point for the over 8 1/2 hour drive to Baltimore; second, there was a Curious George art exhibit at the Chrysler Museum of Art. It was mainly the artwork of H.A. & Margret Rey, the authors of the Curious George books. We could not take photos in that exhibit, but it was impressive and educational. Eleanor did get a chance to sketch her own version of the statues in this room & she did a great job!

The adorable dad and son near the museum store
Gorgeous waterway across the street from the museum
Emerson enjoys the higher view
Eleanor is fascinated with mermaids now so she loved taking her picture with this statue
