Meandering in Washington D.C.
Synara wanted to see the White House and Alejandra wanted to see the Lincoln Memorial, so we went back to Washington D.C. We chose a circle that would begin going to the Lincoln Memorial and then to the other side to the Capitol, with the White House and other...

Washington DC
Yesterday, Alejandra, Laura, Miranda, Silas and I went to Washington D.C. We wanted to give Alejandra a chance to see the White House and the Capitol, which she had asked to see. Her father suggested she would also like the Natural History Museum, too.

Updating My Postcard Collection
Recently, Miranda sent me a lovely postcard from Wisconsin, so I put it together with Petra’s from Graceland and New Orleans. Also, I found an old one sent to me from Morocco and then I found one from the Mackinac Bridge, Niagara Falls, Washington D.C., and finally one from Baltimore....
Washington D.C. Zoo
John wanted to revisit the Zoo in D.C. Since it was a day when Laura babysits Cameron, we took him and Laura too! It took two tries to get in, but we finally made it. (D.C. itself is a zoo to drive and park in!) It was a chilly, rainy...
Next Big Thing
My son’s band, Embers for Ashes, was invited to the 930 Club, along with many other bands in the area, to play their music. This would put them in a venue where Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers has played, as well as Bob Dylan, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the...
Washington D.C.
John and I went with Laura, Heather, Tom, Chris and Baby Cameron to Washington D.C. First leg of the journey was to hop on the metro, which seemed to excite Cameron. First stop was the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History… The museum’s collections total over 125 million specimens of plants,...

Washington D.C. (Episode II) Continued – Sculpture Garden

 "Way too much coffee. But if it weren’t for the coffee, I’d have no identifiable personality whatsoever." ~David Letterman  After hours in the National Museum of History, everyone decided they wanted to go to Starbucks. Remembering seeing more than one last week, we set out to find them. Starbucks...
Washington D.C. (Episode II)
Not even a whole week after going to D.C., we decided to return. Having more of an understanding of how the metro works made a second visit easier. I took 500 photos this time! This time, we decided to visit the National Museum of Natural History. The main building on...
