Around and About In DC

We decided that we wanted to make a bucket list of things to do in Washington, DC while we are still here. We realize that many people save money and make big trips to come enjoy all that DC has to offer. We live a few minutes away and do not go often enough. 

This weekend we decided to go visit a museum. Koala Bear chose the National Art Gallery. That is fitting with her love of art history. The four of us loved walking around the museum and seeing which art spoke to us.  

Both Muggles are learning about US History right now, so it was good for them to see the portraits of the leaders of the country. 

I found that I gravitate towards the realism type of paintings. I also have a thing for paintings with water in them. Lucky Dragon decided that he liked the landscapes. Lady Hiva loved the flowers and trees. All of us didn't feel a draw to the "religious" art. 

We finally made it to see the Jefferson memorial. It is off on its own so it is a bit hard to make it there. I say that, but we were able to make it all the way to his home in Monticello before we made it here! HAHA

This dress was fantastic. To see the details of the material and think that it was a paint brush that made those details was so amazing to see.
