Hello are you guys still having fun together in DC? I’ve been enjoying your colourful photographs. Beautiful lighting and cute kids having fun. A few years back I went to the Space Museum and was so impressed with the Apollo 11 capsule. 3 grown men packed inside that tiny thing! Wow and the heat burns on the outside from re-entry! Really brought it home how amazing the whole space venture is and how brave the astronaunts are.

I think you should convert your coat closet into your own work area. I created a fold out desk and built in shelving inside a closet in my bedroom (well actually I drew what I wanted and beloved Julian built it with some help from me) and its great! I’ll have to send you some photos. ( I cut down on my amount of clothes and stored some I might grow back into under the bed in old fashioned trunks curtsey of E-Bay and its totally worth it).

BTW, there’s also a great kids’ zone in the Museum of American History, as well as the other good things to see there, like Julia Child’s kitchen and the First Ladies’ dresses. Definitely good for a rainy day (like Monday or Tuesday, perhaps).

Ohhh, I would totally love to come to your DC meet up…I’d beg to join in but I’m taking my 7 year old daughter to a NoVa American Girl fashion show/tea party. Can’t wait to see who all you get to meet!
And yes, these past few days are as good as it gets around here…that is to say pretty darn perfect. But the summers. Ugh.

Spring is unique in the midwest.. That first warm day helps rekindle everyones spirits and gives us all hopes but as everything becomes green and grows… it really is a rebirth

Hi! Hi! I’m in (near) DC and don’t have anything planned for this Sunday. And I have an almost four-year-old (boy) and a very very cute 16 month old (girl).

You should go to the Building Museum. It’s free, and there’s tons of space to run around and build things with giant legos and blocks and stuff. And the building is really cool and they have the best gift shop too.

I’m sorry I’ll miss the DC meet up. I’m hosting book club this Sunday. Have a great time.

Leesa, I used smitten kitchen's carrot-cake recipe, except in place of the 1 1/4 cups of canola oil, I used 3/4 c. canola oil and 1/2 cup melted butter. The browned-butter frosting recipe can be found here. :-)

Oh if I wasn’t going to be going to a Workshop in MD the week after your meet up, I would so be there. But, I just can’t see me making the drive two weekends in a row :(

And the Spy museum, that is so Secret Agent :)

I’ve been to the Spy Museum. I thought it was great but just be prepared that Bug might not find it as interesting. Lots of things to look at and read- not as many fun interactive exhibits and those that were there had long lines. Maybe you will get lucky and it will be a slow day! Have fun as a tourist in DC. It’s one of my favorite places to visit.
