Weekend Away

We had the pleasure of visiting my Great Aunt and Uncle! We went to pick up Grandma, who had been visiting her brother and sister-in-law for the week.

Visiting after our arrival

Cooking Dinner

After eating the best cranberry chicken that we have ever had, we went to...


The Overture Center to see a musical production of "Little Women"!


The dome in The Overture Center.

Uncle J. gave us a tour of the building! It was especially an interesting tour since Uncle J. helped design The Overture Center and could tell us many interesting facts about it!


The main auditorium. Isn't it just lovely?!


The very neat ceiling
