One day, we went to the Smithsonian American History Museum. I asked the girls which museum they wanted to see, and they decided they wanted to see the "presidents' dresses". So, off we went to the First Ladies gallery. They really enjoyed viewing all the dresses and wanted to know which First Ladies were still living.
We also visited a "pirate ship", saw Kermit the Frog, and viewed a phonograph. Of the three, the last was the most perplexing to them. I had planned to go see Julia Child's kitchen, but the girls energy was running out by then, and we were distracted by the doll house. I think we spent 20 minutes checking it out. It is really, really cool. A book about the doll house came home with us. We ended our visit with ice cream and took the Metro home. I think riding the Metro excited them almost as much as visiting the Museum.
On another day, we went to see Frozen. The girls loved it. I thought it was cute, but I'm not as enamored with it as many parents seem to be.
While I've been stitching, I don't have enough to show you a progress picture. Sadly. I also ran out of thank you cards, so I made a set of these quickly one afternoon while I was home with the girls. The design was inspired by a foggy day here in DC.
