Exploring Crystal Bridges

I have wanted to visit Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art for a few years.  Since we were already in Rogers, Arkansas I thought this would be the perfect time.  Dana and the girls were interested in going too so that was our first stop in Bentonville that day.  They had some beautiful pieces.  John and I have always enjoyed visiting art galleries, I had no idea how much Ella would love it though. Her favorite pieces were two by Georgia O'Keefe whom she had been learning about in her gifted program.
She took the longest to go through the gallery and that was with me having to rush her at the end.  I told her we would definitely have to make a trip back and give her more time.  Sam was not that excited about the paintings but the museum just opened a Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit that he would like to see.  He and John were able to see the outside of the house but the tour of the inside was sold out for the day.  It looks like there will definitely be a return trip in our future.
Hannah got on line at the museum and found us a place to try for lunch.  We went to The Pedaler's Pub.  Everyone enjoyed their food and it was a fun atmosphere.  I think it would definitely be worth a second visit too.  After lunch it was time to leave Hannah in Fayetteville and for the rest of us to begin our trip to Springfield.  It was another drive in the unending rain from our whole visit to Arkansas and then some resting from our travels when we arrived at the Lowe's house. 

Ella and I liked this string art piece.
