Danielle and I had a great day in D.C. Seeing the first snow of the year fall over the old buildings was a treat. We went to the Hirshorn, where I saw one of my favorite pieces, Big Man, by Ron Mueck. Then we explored the exhibit above …two panels that allowed you to look through them, at yourself, and at others all at the same time.
We went to the National Museum of American History. Though busy, it was worth the trip alone to see Obama’s presidency already recognized on the wall of presidents!
The Botanical Garden had an exhibit on D.C. momuments made entirely of organic material which was rather amazing. The highlight for me though, was seeing the Capital Christmas tree, with its homemade ornaments, standing humbly in the snow. In just a few short weeks, the quiet of this night will be replaced with the exciting buzz of millions of people, hopeful for the years to come.
