DC Trip
Here's a group of pictures from our quick trip to Washington, D.C. Hope you enjoy the mix!
Washington, D.C., is filled with lots of forceful types, but I don't think any as determined as this one. I took a salad to the National Museum of Art Sculpture Gallery for a relaxing lunch and this little guy thought he was going to share it with me. And, don't think that I was using my telephoto lens. Infact, I had to lean back to get him in the picture.
The Newseum is worth a visit. I spent 45 minutes outside reading the front pages of papers from around the world. Inside, I was mesmermized by the news stories of the Berlin Wall, a photographer for Sports Illustrated, Katrina, and even Elvis.
At the DAR Museum, we unfortunately couldn't see any quilts. But this little fish was cool! You would put yarn or ribbon through the slot in the fish's tail. Then pull it through your opening.
The Renwick Gallery was beautiful. My favorite exhibit was crafts from the WWII internment camps.
Lunch and some touring with my friend Pat Sloan . We couldn't pass up the opportunity to have our picture taken in front of the White House.
Every musuem we visited during the trip was filled with movies, hands-on learning, and opportunities to fill our brains with facts that I never new existed. Several things amazed me over and over. Free admission to the Smithsonian Museums. Free. We stood nose-to-nose with the Hope Diamond. Free. We learned about bugs. Free. We went to the top of the Washington Monument. Free. We saw the First Ladies dresses.
While Jeff was finishing his meeting, I relaxed in the National Museum of Art Sculpture Garden. Time slowed down ever so briefly and I enjoyed it.
Julia Child's kitchen was on display in the National Museum of American History. Her quote was perfect!

Sounds like such a wonderful trip. I always wished we had taken our children when they were young. Great memories.
