I took them over to Nasher Museum of Art over on Duke's campus. It was really neat. I hadn't been there before, and I think that we all enjoyed it. They had an exhibit on photography and different types of exposure that photographers use to get the look that they want in their photographs. We also walked through the section where they have pieces from their permanent collection. We saw an Andy Warhol photo in the photography section, and I spent the longest time staring at a Picasso in their permanent collection. Afterwards, I took them by one of my favorite local restaurants, Foster's Market, to grab sandwiches.
We also took them to our favorite, local pizza place, Lily's Pizza. Of course, it was amazing. I have to tell you about this salad that they have there. It's a roasted pear salad with a pear vinaigrette. The salad is a bed of mixed greens, roasted pears stuffed with blue cheese, toasted almonds, and homemade croutons. It is to die for... So delicious!
Thursday night after Greg got home from work, we went to the Carolina Hurricane's NHL game in Raleigh. I love going to watch hockey. It's so much more entertaining in person than it is on TV. It is such a fun environment and the fans are wild!
Friday morning, I had a bunch of errands to run, so I suggested that Ralph and Linda over to Duke Gardens. I wish that it had been warmer because Linda said nothing much had started blooming. I told her that she'd just have to come back in the spring to see everything. We went last year in May and it was gorgeous.
Overall, it was a really good visit and Greg and I were so happy that they were able to come visit!
