weekend in review
May. 9th, 2004 11:04 pmThis weekend I was determined to get D. out of the house for something, preferably something he enjoyed doing.
We got up very late, so that ruled out the new science museum, so D. suggested the new WWII memorial downtown.
Note to potential tourists: never, ever take a car into DC unless it is absolutely unavoidable! :P Beyond parking issues, D. finally found a space and we had a short walk to the memorial itself, which, I thought, was fittingly grand yet understated, quite elegant.
The Mall was packed, but it WAS a beautiful day - high in the 70sF and not a cloud in the sky :) Even my allergies let me be enough to enjoy the fresh, moist greenery (I'm still enjoying that "wow, I can see every single leaf and twig" new contact lens effect). Spring only lasts, oh, a week or two here before it's blazing hot and humid every day, so I'm glad we got out at the right time :)
This week - finishing up the laundry, covering the chair, and hopefully seeing "Van Helsing" (I know, the reviews aren't great, but it has leather costumes and Hugh Jackman sans greasy ducktail, so how bad can it be?)
