Being tourists (in our own town)

A castle at the Smithsonian. I know these aren't cherry blossoms, but they're pretty.




In a way it's a good thing we're still in VA instead of Paris. There have been some very nice days outside. Every time I check the weather for Paris it's raining. I will gladly welcome the blue skies and warm weather. We have taken advantage of it by going to the Zoo and the National History Museum in DC. Both have been very nice days. Perhaps if we're here long enough, we'll head over to the Museum of America History and the National Building Museum.

It's nice that Matt reads so well. It makes a trip to the museum more interesting. Perhaps he will be like his father and read about things at a museum (unlike me who barely pauses as I walk by). Don't get me wrong, I like going to museums. It's just that there are some things that catch my eye more than vampire bats or the history of some fossil or airplane.

We bought Timmy a harness. I figured that he needed to get used to it before Paris. We tested it out today. I slipped it on him while he was distracted by something on a TV. After that he didn't seem to notice it. He was intrigued by the things on the TVs on the floor.
He loved to be able to touch things. And he even managed to find something that had a button and he pushed it over and over again. That boy loves to push buttons.

Last Saturday we went to the National Zoo. It was a very nice day and therefore very crowded.
