We're always grateful when Kevin and Deborah take time to come see us! They are loving, generous, flexible, and their visits always provide a good excuse to get out and experience new things!
We started our first day together at the Kennilworth Aquatic Gardens. The lotus flowers were still in full bloom so, even though it was extremely hot, we made our way around some of the ponds to admire the beauty.
The kids participated in a free art event at the National Gallery. The docent taught the kids about Kandinsky, helped them look at one of his pieces on display, and then they had a chance to create their own art!
We also spent time at the Building Museum - it was our first visit and had extra fun hands-on activities for the kids
Saturday we headed out to the Air and Space Museum near Dulles which was fantastic! This time of year, the Air and Space Museum on the Mall is ridiculously crowded, but if you're willing to drive a little out of town, you can get an equally impressive display, including an up-close view of the Space Shuttle Discovery!
Dairy Queen for the win!

We had such fun on our visit in July. You know the great places to go and see interesting things and beautiful places. The lotus ponds were breath-taking.
Loved the "portrait" of mousey . . .
