Nearly There !
In just a little over a week I'll be heading out on vacation !
Watch out DC, here I come ! ! ! ! !
Everyone seems astounded that a 28 year old would have never been to DC before. But it's really not all that strange if you consider that I grew up in Florida and hence spent my elementary school years - when they usually do this trip in my CT school system - in the south visiting the Kennedy Space Center and the Everglades.
I've done my research and have a tentative plan for our 4 days there.
I went over this plan with J last night and, surprisingly, he seemed pretty agreeable to it all. He considers my plan of taking on the National Museum of Natural History & the Air & Space Museum all in one day an impossibility - but then again the boy's never seen me in a museum ! I'm the type who likes to plan her trip to a museum by looking up their maps online prior to the trip. Then, when I go into a museum, I get their map of the place, circle what I want to see and off I go ! No need to wander aimlessly - I go see what I want to see and then I leave. Do I really want to look at Native American woven bowls? No. But I know that the first time I saw dinosaur skeletons (when I was 23 !) I stayed in that hall for the longest time - just looking around like with my mouth hanging open like a little kid. So it's all about strategy for me so I can take the time and make the most of what I want to see ! LA LA LA !
