DC

I had a meeting in DC this week, so Mike and I drove down early and explored.  We went to the Newseum, drove by the 'Watergate' Hotel and gazed at the Potomac River with colorful trees behind it.  We went to the National Gallery of Art, which might be one of my favorites.  I had never been to the East Building, which contains a fascinating Matisse exhibit and a sparkly lit walkway between the two Buildings, created by Leo Villareal, and an awesome sculpture by Andy Goldsworthy.  I can't believe I had never been to that side of the museum!  

Saturday night, we strolled through DuPont Circle and ate an incredible dinner at an Italian resutaurant - one of the best meals we have had in a really long time.  After some sleep and breakfast, we spent some time at the newly constructed Martin Luther King, Jr Memorial.

After Mike left, I spent a few days attending my conference and finding yummy delicious food, a very special cupcake, freshly made orange soda with just squeezed OJ, and walking around in the beautiful, sunny weather.  I would totally move to DC.  I love it!
