Spring Break: Day Five

Spring Break...
Day Five

Today, Mariah demanded a photo adventure!  So, during a lovely breakfast at Five Forks Cafe, she, Aubrey, and I tried to come up with an idea that would accomplish that task.  After a bit of deliberating on the merit of scavenger hunts, we came to the conclusion that we would ask someone to give us a list of five famous paintings that we would then attempt to re-create.

4. Nighthawks by Edward Hopper
5. Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh

And a very hearty thanks to Aubrey's brother Colin!  (Whom she coerced into assisting us...)
