Works in kiln-cast glass by Peter Bremers at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Virginia.

Despite their apparent delicacy, these pieces are dense and imposing. All are about a meter tall. These and other works by Bremers are on display at the museum through mid-January, 2025.

Norfolk/VA Beach Trip 2023

My sister wanted to see the options at the Asian groceries and it’s been years since I’ve been to VA Beach so I decided to join her on a quick trip. Unfortunately, all the Asian groceries that we hit had very little selection and the seafood was pricey despite it being near the sea? Don’t understand how that’s a thing. At least one of the stores had fresh jellyfish which I bought.

Norfolk Attractions:

Norfolk Botanical Gardens: Admission was $16 and I wished we went in the summer. There were very little flowers in bloom in May. They had hydrangeas and wisterias (my favorites) but none were in bloom. Still fun and they had candyleaf which made Stevia. The leaves tasted like honeysuckle. The staff were very friendly and fun to talk to.

Chrysler Museum of Art- Free admissions and they have glass making demonstrations during certain days. Smaller than the VMFA and they do have some nice Tiffany-stained glass displayed. Great to walk around and parking is free. Staff is very nice and the atmosphere is quite relaxing.

VA Beach Food:

Ten Seconds Noodles: Had to get the cross bridge noodles since it’s a specialty of Kunming. The variety is great but I wish the broth was more meaty but it’s still good. I just prefer my beef noodles more. Price is also good with noodle priced at $13.

Prince Tea House: So I wanted high tea and the afternoon tea for two was $54, so very expensive for the amount of food offered. But high tea is always expensive and this option was the cheapest based on other places. We each got a pot of our preferred tea. The top layer was chocolate molten lava cake in a tiny COSTCO sample size cup, 2 macaroon, and 2 fruit tarts. Second layer had 2 scones with raspberry jam and cottage cream in separate containers. Last layer had 2 of every item—deviled eggs, cucumber sandwich, cheesy salami, cream cheese salmon, tuna sandwich. At least the variety is there and all the food taste delicious... it’s just miniscule. The décor is adorable and the whole experience is more for IG than to fill your stomach.  

Place:

My sister got an AirBnB with a superhost. It was a mess since her estranged son showed up in the middle of the night and started to threaten her. It was getting to the point where I wondered if I needed to call the police since I had no idea if he had a weapon. I was getting ready to hit the car alarm on the keys but my sister got up to look at the situation and the guy left once he saw her. The host apologized and comped our stay but I think I might just do hotels if I travel next time.

The May Queen (The Crowning of Flora)

Artist: Jacob Marling (1774-1833)

Date: 1816

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, Virginia

Landscape scene depicting a May Day ceremony held in a clearing on the grounds of the Raleigh Academy, with the young female students dressed in white, some seated in the audience watching as one woman reads from a script, while another places a crown on the head of the May queen seated on a throne festooned with pink flowers. Nearby three young men in black suits stand in a row, one holding a clarinet in his hand. On the far right, a young woman is seated at a piano, and on the far left, young women scurry about preparing refreshments at a table covered with a long white tablecloth. In the background, the red brick Raleigh Academy building is visible.
