Last Tuesday Charlotte & I headed out on our very overdue birthday trip. We usually go in the fall between our birthdays, but the past couple of years we haven’t been able to go for various reasons, so we finally decided to try early summer. We headed over the eastern North Carolina, to Smithfield, where we found that Ava Gardner had grown up there. We ate some delicious Smithfield barbecue for lunch when we got to town, and then took in the Ava Gardner museum. It was just such an interesting look at her life. We loved all of the exhibits. Here are a few pictures.
