We took a quick trip to D.C. last week with T's mother. The main purpose of our visit was to visit the Museum of African Art where a few of T's mother's photographs will be on display as part of an exhibition early next year. While we were there, we received a personal tour of the museum from the exhibition curator who described each exhibition and the permanent collection to us in great detail. I was in awe of her knowledge and passion for her field and artists she represents in the museum. Amazing work by the artists and curators, indeed! We can't wait to go back next year to see the exhibition in its entirety and to celebrate her accomplishment.
Being indoors was a reprieve from the oppressing heat and humidity outside. And as most of D.C. involves walking from one monument or museum to another, we took our time outdoors stopping for water and breaks in the shade. We also assured T's mother that the weather will be quite different when she returns for the exhibition in the Spring of next year.
Some of the pedestrian highlights included a dinner at Nando's Peri-Peri (so good!), a quick walk-through the public library, two enjoyable breakfasts at a nearby french eatery, and a fun newlywed dinner for T and I at a hip pizzeria with a great menu, draft beer selection, and interior. \
