Library Of Congress

Saturday it was Liam's turn to pick our adventure, a tour of the Library of Congress. Liam was very excited, the girls were reasonably excited too, until we learned the children's area(yes it has one) is not open on the weekend. They were unsure why the old books were so interesting, let alone why Daddy thought the rough draft of the constitution was so great. He pointed out how things we written in the margins, other sections scratched out- still nothing. The girls preferred the gallery, which doubles as a dance hall (you may not be able to get away with this if you are over 6 years old). A very good time. And I will concede that the rough drafts of the constitution are pretty cool.

We rounded out the day with a visit to a street market for me, and ice-cream for the girls. I have included a picture from the market for those of you who knew my Baba, when I saw these russian tea cookies being sold for $8.99/lb I could see her laughing. All those years she gave them to us for free!
