Yesterday, we went to Rosa Mexicana for an outstanding lunch before heading to the International Spy Museum, Ford’s Theater, and the National Portrait Gallery/Art Museum. At the art museum they had an exhibit featuring video games over the past 30 years. Needless to say, that was a favorite for Cole, Harper, and me. In particular, it was nice to see games like Pirates! and Bard’s Tale at the Smithsonian!
Today, we took the Metro to the National Zoo. It was hot. Brings home why early American history has a lot of references to federal officials trying to get out of town during the summer. Amy was delighted to see the Panda exhibit. I liked the Amazonia exhibit quite a bit.

Congratulations on finding some hidden gems in the nation’s capital. Hope you find more.
There’s so much to see in DC ! Didn’t know about the Spy Museum.
I suppose you may be back by now. Hope you caught the fabulous Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial. Completely outdoors, the visitor strolls trough a timeline and statuary of the main events of FDR’s terms of office, and one notices the themes, Depression, war time, and so on. Also a section on Eleanor, although I believe she merits a memorial all to herself.
