NCMA Exhibit: Inspiring Beauty 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair

-


We have a fantastic museum here in North Carolina.  The North Carolina Museum of Art or for short NCMA, in Raleigh NC. I went with a Meetup group to an exhibit called Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair. It is a beautiful and inspiring exhibit, and if you get a chance, I suggest you attend. 
Here are a few photos from the event....

I love the detail in this dress.  Beautiful!




At the end of the event, they have a virtual fitting room.  
Here you can scroll through and virtually try on several of the fashion items.  
Such fun!
Take advantage of the offerings of the museums in your area.  
There is so much to see, do, and learn.
Happy Travels and Adventures!

One thing I love about travel is trying new restaurants.  Cindy and I found ourselves on an adventure in the Mooresville NC area near Lake Norman.  There is nothing like enjoying a meal by the water and when we read that Eddie's was on the water we decided to give it a try.  Off we went... Eddie's on Lake Norman Here is a quote from their website. "Eddie Lubic and Ann-Margaret Wagner bring their hospitality and restaurant expertise  from New York to the shores of Lake Norman."  View from our outdoor seating... Sadly it did not get the best reviews on Z omato , but for the view and casual dinning I would go back. The staff was friendly and service was good. Plenty of room outdoors and in.  Indoor seating  A bit of wine:-)   "Eddie and Ann-Margaret's mission is always to provide the freshest seafood, prime meats, produce, pasta, and bread every meal."  Eddie's We enjoyed our veggie and cheese platt...
