Kristin is here to visit me this weekend! It was so much fun to hang out and play tourist. This morning we woke up and headed to the Eastern Market for my favorite french toast. Since the weather was calling for a big snowstorm there was a marked lack of people there - we didn't even have to wait in line to order! It was a snow day miracle. The funny thing is that there was no snow on the ground as we headed in.
As we walked outside again the snow had started to gather on the ground. To accompany the lack of people, there was a lack of vendors. I was sad to miss the fresh produce at the farmers market and attempt again to find the sunglasses I owe David. We stopped by the bizarre bookstore that I love. Ashley is modeling the lack of head clearance in the basement.
Next we headed to the National Archives to see the original Constitution and Declaration of Independence. From there we were going to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to droll over the money, but we got sidetracked into the Holocaust Museum. I kind of pushed Birdo into going there. She thinks it is a sad place, which it is if you think about it, but I really like that museum. To me it is a reminder of what we cannot let happen again. It also makes me remember why it is important for good people to stay involved in politics and work to make sure their good voice is heard.
After we got out of the museum there was tons of snow and the roads were slippery, so we headed back home. We grabbed some Thai takeout and a movie and hunkered down waiting for the snow to stop. But it didn't stop. Nope. We watched Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (pretty hilarious), some shows on the DVR, read, and finally braved the snow to run to the store for groceries. It was a fun and relaxing day.
