Today was the one day that we get of Adam's spring break - he has to work and will be at his moot court competition for the rest of the week. So we went downtown. First we went to the National Portrait Gallery, one of the Smithsonians, to see Stephen Colbert's portrait. It's there as a joke to go along with the show, and hung in a little alcove with the restrooms and the drinking fountain. We got a kick out of that. We walked through the Hall of the Presidents, where they have a portrait of every president through Bill Clinton (Bush 2 will be added after he leaves office). There was a lot more to see, but it was a silent-as-a-tomb art gallery and Summer liked to scream to hear the echo. So we pretty much carried her around the whole time saying "Shh!" and booked it out of there right quick. Rosemary was sleeping in the stroller the whole time.
Then we went over to the Natural History museum where Summer could be as loud as she wanted. Our bishop's wife volunteers there and is Summer's "adopted grandma," and as luck would have it, she was there when I called her cell phone. So she took us through a number of the exhibit sections - mammals to see all the animals, insects, ocean life, the dinosaurs, and the gemstones to see the Hope Diamond.
Summer and Rosemary's new month pictures are up on our page - they were just taken yesterday. Thanks tons, Mindy!
