Well, not really but we did have a great April enjoying the Picasso exhibit at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond followed by lunch at Can Can Brasserie in Carytown, and later in the month tennis and lunch at Et Voila on MacArthur Blvd, in DC.
The Picasso exhibit was fabulous, but we were extremely impressed with the architecture of the museum, fabulous gift shops with friendly volunteers and staff, and expansive space with tremendous windows and light for numerous exhibits. The Amuse, its restaurant, is very chic and contemporary with lots of windows. The museum is well worth the drive. Visit http://www.vmfa.state.va.us
Can Can is fun and very Parisienne in its decor and feel. It was a beautiful day so the large front windows were open. It has a massive bar, high ceilings, fans, dark wood, and tin ceiling. Our waitress was super friendly and Dad enjoyed talking to her about traveling in France. Dad and Kari enjoyed the savory Bouillabaisse with shrimp, mussels, clams and fish in a saffron, rouille tomato-fennel broth served with warm and doughy bread and crispy frites.. Lori loved the tasty Braised Lamb Sandwich with rosemary aiole, braised cabbage, and citrus and chickpea salad. Sheri enjoyed the light and flavorful Roasted Chicken Salad with arugula, apricot, pistachio and lemon herbes aioli. We have been here once before and definitely plan to come back for great atmosphere and good food. http://www.cancanbrasserie.com
