A few pieces from inside the Bennett Place Museum in Durham, NC
Bennetter Place is the site of the largest surrender of the Civil War.

I love those little shoes...

Yesterday I showed you the bandstand, which has nothing to do with the surrender but had been moved to the property in the early 1900's...tomorrow I will show you around the yard :)

Built in 1916...moved to Bennett Place (Durham NC) in 1924.
The bandstand is great but I am also loving all those beautiful trees!
I will show you around Bennett Place this week!

Through My Lens & Monday Murals...Durham, NC

Durham, North Carolina

On Saturday we took a little drive down to the Raleigh/Durham area and spent the day. I can't find a thing out about this mural. I saw one write up briefly mentioning it along with a "Drag Bingo" story and stating this was created by an HIV/Aids artist...then a blog just labeled it as the "9th Street Bakery Mural"...I grew tired of looking so whichever it is, it is colorful!

More on Durham throughout the week!

My 5 are from Wednesday's track meet:

1)

The boys running hurdles

2)

Relay...Braden and Dalton both compete in this event but Braden starts and Dalton is in the last turn. Here he's handing off to his team mate Ethan.

3)

Good sportsmanship

4)

Chillin' (literally!) till the next event

5)

Another hurdle event. Braden and Dalton start at different times on this one. I think this is the 300 hurdles.

Braden and Dalton's school, Read Mountain Middle School, hosted James Madison Middle and Breckenridge Middle School (both of Roanoke City).

That's my 5 this week! I hope you will play along! Post 5 randoms, link back and visit others! Have a great weekend!!
