USS Eisenhower

軍艦一日遊，還看到船進港。

Day tour at USS Eisenhower!

Glenstone in Potomac, MD

You have to come here if  you love art, architecture, and nature.

One time I was reading a travel magazine that I didn’t end up buying (oops) at Whole Foods.  The magazine mentioned many spots to go, but Glenstone was the only place I was interested in.  However, 4-hour drive from Virginia Beach lost my interest very quick. 

They spent almost 5 years doing expansion, and only re-opened to public last year October.  Make sure you schedule the visit online since availability is limited.  It doesn’t get crowded, so you get to ask the staffs at Glenstone questions about the art pieces. The visitors here are so well read, some even know Taiwan history!

對藝術、建築、和自然景觀有興趣的人一定要來這！

有次在超市讀一本（沒買的）旅遊雜誌，裡面提到的景點，這裡我最有興趣。但回家後立刻忘記這地方，畢竟離我們家開車需要快四小時。去年年底開始檢視我地圖上的點時，才記得這裡也是清單之一。

花了五年擴張，2018年10月才重新開放。由於這裡一天不收超過400人，需要先上網預約。參觀人數不多，有任何關於作品的問題，這裡的工作人員能很仔細的講解。連參觀的人也超強，懂台灣歷史！

Happy Oink Oink Year!

我們這個小城不像加州或紐約一樣路上滿是亞洲人，更不用談亞洲過年氣氛。但週末逛好市多時，竟然有賣鳳梨酥！今天幾個台灣朋友相聚，一起包餃子吃朋友J的鹽酥雞（天堂啊），今天也是我和朋友J認識滿一週年耶！

最後祝大家恭喜發財！

Norfolk is not like California or New York with a lot of Asians, needless to say, there isn’t a lot of Lunar New Year festivities here. But I was quite surprised to find pineapple pastry while grocery shopping this weekend!

Today we met up with some Taiwanese friends, we made dumplings and enjoyed my friend’s homemade Taiwanese crispy chicken (heaven!) Happy New Year! 

P.S. Today is one year friendsversary for me and my friend J!
