Museum hopping & the Daily Post

The days are still chilly (what’s up with that, March?!), and I’m pretty bitter that my winter coat and wool socks are still in rotation. Let’s hope April brings more spring-like weather.

A couple of weekends ago, a group of us decided to escape Southern Maryland to museum hop in D.C. We were able to fit in three museums before hunger took over. In a couple of photos…

Mapping out our route at the National Gallery of Art.

Above at left (and below at right) is Michelangelo’s David-Apollo. The unfinished marble sculpture was on temporary display while we were there.

Second museum stop:  Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

Lastly, we checked out the National Museum of the American Indian. This was our shortest visit. Note to self:  never museum hop on an empty stomach.

 A most welcome sight after a windy day in the District:  hot tea and freshly baked pizza from Matchbox in Chinatown.

And if you haven’t seen this yet, WordPress.com was nice enough to profile me on their blog, the Daily Post last week. Seriously, what an amazing opportunity! Many, many thanks to the WordPress team for this special honor.
