LACMA and the Levitating Mass and Metropolis

Another museum - great place for mom and dad to soak in some culture and for kids to run around (and  - oh yeah - start to appreciate art at an early age too!)  But the running around and getting energy out part is great too.

We have NextGen passes - which make G and B free until age 18 - which I think they would be anyways.  The great part is that they each also get to take an adult in free with them - so mom and dad save about $20 each per visit.  Bonus!

Trip to the East Coast Part Trois - Final Installment - VA and DC

VA and DC - the final leg of our trip!

We hit A LOT of monuments . . .

We toured the Supreme Court and Capitol (our White House tour was cancelled - how rude of foreign events to necessitate a speech from the Rose Garden and a cancelling of tours for the day ours was scheduled on).

We all LOVED the Air and Space Museum.

We walked all over Old Towne Alexandria and saw mommy's friends Chris and Michelle.

Garrett doing his own performances and dancing to the street performers' music . . .

So fun catching up with old friends!  It's great to have kept in touch and kept meaningful friendships intact.

We visited mommy's friends Alice and Steve and their little boy Grayson (who dressed Garrett up).  We adore Alice and Steve and big G (and big and little G adore each other).

We closed out the trip with Mt. Vernon.  It was a whirlwind trip - but we saw a lot in a short period of time - and managed to eat lunch too.  We even made it to the airport with plenty of time to spare.
