Thankfully, I had some amazing mother's helpers that came with me. Such a great idea and huge kudos to the husband to suggesting that! He is brilliant!
So, we made our way into DC via metro and stopped at the Sackler for our usual bathroom breaks. We checked out the Seascapes Exhibit which became a source of inspiration for me later when we took some pictures on the mall as we were leaving. Dwight Tryon inspired sky:
We really only did the PBS tent with the kids, who are still really excited about the book making kits they received. Nate was terrified of the big plushies. So unlike Xander who laughed hysterically at the Philly's mascot.
We had a lonnng walk to where I wanted to eat lunch! In retrospect we really should have just eaten from the special event carts or gone over to the national gallery but we took a nice hike and I think we were all thankful to sit and have lunch! Surprisingly the kids did not eat all that much. I thought they would be famished but maybe it was too hot or maybe they managed to chow down on the snack I let them have at the sackler more than I realized. Highlights were Xander's jokes and Max cracking up over them. He kept laughing and calling himself a blue piece of paper. You really had to be there. After that late lunch we got to look around at the dinosaurs, birds and shells!
Dan had a good time doing all of his event things and I got to meet a couple of his friends which was very nice. I like to put faces to the names that float around!
It was a lot of fun but soo exhausting! Once again- thank goodness I had help!
oh and for future reference: everyone loves to ride the trains except for Nate.
