(Playing with new tools in the editing mode of "Picasa" our photo-editing program. Look what fun!)
You can see the quilting!
Took the youngest 3 to DC: First stop, drop off John @ his office, see the turtles (he named one Turtlinni) and one of my quilts.
Waiting in line for "free" tickets to
Holocaust permanent exhibit. We got 1:30 time, after an hour wait in line...so we had some time for Mall exploring. I let Sam go solo to the Air & Space, took Roxie to Natural History, and Suzu went off on her own. The deal was to stay in phone contact and TXT me when they left a museum, so I would know where they were...
Weather was wonderful, and the
giant HUGE scary snake eating an alligator was the scariest thing I saw all day. Two white-shirted, tied, and nametagged elders the happiest! (I gave my Easter pass-along-card to Angie, a teacher from South Carolina who was behind us in line. We talked & talked and it was natural & normal to include our Easter plans and the
free video. We sang School House Rock songs together, great time. She teaches high school English and makes her students sing to memorize the prepositions to "The Farmer in the Dell" "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "Happy Birthday" to get through them all.)
The gems and rocks the most beautiful. The horse-trotting police the most fun.
The shoes were the saddest.
I've waited until the youngest studied the Holocaust in school, and asked me about going. The exhibit geared towards younger children, Daniel's Story, moved me to tears. Well done exhibits. A must see, when you are ready.
