Since it was my dad's 80th birthday, I wanted to surprise him with a bunch of balloons that said "Happy 80th Birthday". It turns out that I couldn't take them in the museum with me. So I had to run back to my car and leave them there. Dinner was amazing as usual. We love going there for dinner. After dinner I told my mom that I would take the presents that I had given them and put them in her car. With my hands full I went to the parking garage and to the top floor to their car. I went down 3 levels to my car to get the balloons. Then back up three flights to their car to put the balloons in their car. Wow that was exhausting.
After dinner we went to visit the Napoleon exhibit. This was a very interesting exhibit. I never knew much about Napoleon except he was short, always stuck his hand in his jacket, and tried to take over a lot of Europe.
There were a lot of paintings.
And more paintings.
And clothing that was featured in paintings.
And the hat.
It also had a lot of explanation and history throughout the exhibit. I felt like I learned more that evening then I had in some of my history classes. They even had an Emperor's seat where it videoed you and put your image on the wall like a painting.

The VMFA always brings very interesting exhibits to Richmond. I'm glad we were able to see this one.
Do you have a favorite or memorable exhibit that you have seen at a museum?
