Today was my birthday! Yesterday we had a great pool party for Memorial Day, but today was just me and my husband and a day on the town. I posted my day on Instagram. Here are my photos:
We decided to park and take the free R line circulator bus downtown. Along the way we also discovered the awesome real time updates on their web site. Check it out!
First stop: coffee and a waffle at Benelux. There is Nutella hiding under that whipped cream.
While we walked around downtown we saw a poster for this bizarre upcoming symphony show. Radiohead + Brahms = what?
Then we stopped in at the old Raleigh City Museum, now the City of Raleigh Museum. I worked there way back in the early aughts while I was in grad school.
Then it was time for the main event — the new Star Trek movie. The 3D was fabulous!
After the movie we grabbed a sidewalk hotdog and wandered around downtown.
It was a beautiful day!
We had a good wander but we were getting a little bit warm, so we ducked into the state capitol building for a peek around. This is the most patriotic photo I have ever taken.
Then we had sushi for dinner! One of those rolls has beef on it. Yum.
Now it is time to follow this advice on my husband’s birthday card. Thanks for spending my birthday with me!
