We're having such an amazing time touring Washington DC, but we have. not. stopped.Today we visited: – The World War II Memorial. That deserves an entire post of its own. – The White House Tour (which totally made me want to design my own china but that's not important right now). =D – the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. A massive T-Rex & The Hope Diamond all in one place – fun for the whole family! – The American History Museum where we got to see the original Old Glory…not ashamed to admit I wept copiously when I saw it. (Shut up. I know.)
Also on display, Abe Lincoln's Top Hat, the original Oscar the Grouch Muppet, Dorothy's Ruby Slippers, and Seinfeld's Puffy Shirt. =D – We bopped toThe Top of the Washington Monument. – The Iwo Jima Memorial. More weepies. – the Jefferson Memorial. – And finally the Roosevelt Memorial. We collapsed in a satisfied, exhausted heap.
In spite of what the humidity is doing to my hair (shut up!) it's an incredible privilege to be here.

DC always exhausts me, too. Since you mention “weepies,” have you been to the Holocaust Museum? It is an amazing, moving place. If you go, pay attention to the ways the architecture (even in the bathrooms!) echoes the event.
Welcome to our Nation’s Capitol! This is where I was born and raised by my Cuban parents. It’s very cool to be surrounded by all of this history. Be sure to take a stroll through Georgetown! Y si quieres un poco de sabor, you must go to Adams Morgan. Enjoy your stay!!
Oh yeah and happy Mother’s Day!!
