This fun little guy greeted me on my adventure in Washington D.C. on Tuesday. Actually, he wasn't very tiny. It was pretty big, probably about 4 feet tall. But I thought he was adorable. We wandered past him along with several embassy houses. Gretchen and I went to the Textile Museum. There was a lovely little show called Art by the Yard: Women Design Mid-century Britain. It features Lucienne Day, Jacqueline Groag and Marian Mahler. I thought the show was interesting. It was certainly inspirational. Day used a lot of floral motifs, but they were sketchy and reflected the growth process more than the realistic rendering of fully bloomed flower. I liked the humor in her tea towels. Afterward we went to a great pizza place for lunch. I had the tastiest mint gelato. Then I got on a bus and headed back home, to New Jersey. The bus ride was uneventful, which is an event itself. The last time I took a Greyhound bus home, my eight-hour trip took twenty four hours! The fact that I got home on time was impressive. I came home, snuggled with my hubby, and went to bed. The next day, my room-mate came up from Delaware to hang out. We had a lovely afternoon at the pool, and then I decided to kidnap her. So she stayed over and we played "Bananagrams"all night long. This was my best hand. :)
Friday night we'll be leaving for North Carolina. I'll spend the weekend there with hubs and my in-laws. But it's cool, I like them! I'll be back in Virginia by Monday.
