Day 12: First Day in DC

(Tuesday) August 9

 Hey, we have this picture in our house! We did an hour-long "treasure hunt" in the National Gallery of Art, and everyone actually seemed to enjoy it. I always love a good art museum, and it was fun to see in person the prints that I bought at this museum so many years ago and have displayed in our home.

 We also went to the Air & Space Museum (actually spent most of the day there). Walking along the Mall is really long and tiring for little boys. Henry didn't want to take a nap without his trusty bike trailer, so it was a long day for him too.

We took the subway today—something I always love, and reminded me of the good old days when I commuted to my student teaching job in DC from Oakton, VA where we lived just after marriage.
