Today was clean up day.
We went to the Phillips Collection this morning. Great art. I loved the El Greco. We all loved Renoir's Boating Party. Tim asked for a pencil and a mirror so he could do a self portrait.
We Metroed downtown for free choice afternoon, and the boys returned for the third and last time to the Museum of Natural History. Mom meantime hit the DAR (a little dry unless you have Bryan to curate you through all those nice American period antiques), the Renwick (yaay! Real crafts! But boo! Only four rooms! And Mom's bank account needed in the Museum Shop), and the Archives Shop (a little museum of education materials in its own right where I got rushed before).
We all met up at 4:40 for the "Monsters of the Deep" Imax, where Nigel said, "Dad, I need to move over by Tim because all the Monsters are coming straight at me!"
Last Metro ride home (sniff, sniff) and now it's time to clean up at the HOUSE! But fear not, Mom, the adventure isn't over. Gettysburg tomorrow, Hershey, PA on Sat, and then on to New York to stay with Dave and Mel. If I have internet access, I'll keep blogging. Thanks to all you comment makers! You inspire me to get this written down.

Your free choices were so interesting! Natural History museum all the way!! Did I tell you that the guard at the precious gems had to literally follow Mom and me out each night, prodding and finally getting grumpy? Booo for the end of DC, but your weekend sounds great!
Julia, I'm so glad you started writing again! I had so much fun reading about your DC trip this past week.
boooo...I thought that was our house! We miss you almost enough to meet you at Gettysburg. Thanks for the good times!
It has been fabulous to read about your adventures in DC. We've gotta go there again, and again! Your family will never forget the memories you have made. Seeing the pictures and videoes makes us anxious to see you! We can't get enough of you guys! We hope PA and NY are equally as memorable as DC, although wonderfully different!
Love, Mom and Dad
