Our trip to Washington D.C. was everything I'd always imagined it would be, and much more.

National museum of Native American Arts



Alexander Calder!
A very happy event was making a connection with Kristy's Uncle Don, who is living in D.C. right now. He showed us how to ride the metro, and took us to see some things we wouldn't have seen otherwise. It made us feel so connected. We had long visits, lingering over many delicious meals. We had such a good time catching up and making new memories.
He took us to the National Botanical Garden Wow!
Of course we had to see the Lincoln Memorial and from there we walked back to town, past the Vienam wall, the nurses memorial, the World War two memorial, (beautiful) and the Washington monument.

We were absolutely filled up with art, food, fellowship & fabulousness,
but as you all know
there's no place like home.

ah, what a perfect ending photo! I found your blog via Sigrid -- I loved Washington DC the one time I was there a few years ago. I'd love to go back. That photo of the Nt American Museum is exquisite -- when I was there it was under construction.
