| FRIDAY~First Fridays Easter weekend in Richmond was pretty awesome! Some of the fam came down and each day there was some kind of artsy/festival event going on and the best part... for FREE! My little niece Abbey, above, went from a Pittsburgh girl to a southern belle in about 1 day. See below. : ) |
 |
| First Fridays Art Walk was the perfect way to introduce the murals that have been popping up all over the city. G40 ART SUMMIT Walking around the city hunting for the murals felt like Easter morning early. |

 |
| Ham for days! Michele made a casserole for the next day and I made another for the week and the ham would not get smaller! Another money saver. |
 |
| The infamous Easter Parade on Monument Ave! It's not a typical parade... It's the people of Richmond parading around with crazy hats and their dogs dressed in costumes. We saw drag queens, clowns on stilts and magicians throwing fire. It was the perfect for an Easter Sunday in Richmond, Va. |
 |
| Ice cream, corn dogs, funnel cake and lemonade. We did it all! |
 |
| See... good thing are for FREE!!! Love this guy! |
