Sunday in DC ....

This Sunday myself and the girls (Sam, Kris and Tika) headed into DC to check out an exhibit at the National Gallery and drop into some other places. Sam was a trooper since galleries are not her thing. The exhibit was one of Martin Puryear's work. The picture is of one of his well known pieces that myself and Tika had seen at the MOMA in NYC last December. The exhibit was one that Tika really wanted to see and since Kris is a big art person she enjoyed it as well. There were some new pieces that we had not seen so it was a good visit at NGA.

The exhibit was spread across both buildings so we also went and visited the Afghan Treasures exhibit in the East Building. I guess I never realized how developed the Afghan culture was - never imagining the cities that existed there rivaled Greek and Italian cities of the time. It was enlightening. By then we were getting hungry so we decided to let Sam choose where to eat. As we walked out of NGA we stopped into the Natural History museum to see their "Crystal Skull" since the girls had seen the movie.

We ended up at Gordon Biersch for lunch - I made a mess, Tika teased me about it and then realized she did as well - that apple did not fall far from the tree :-). After lunch we headed into Georgetown - the girls wanted to see first hand the "Exorcist Stairs". Was kind of nice since it gave Tika a bit of insight into Georgetown University.

It was a fun day ....
