Out and about

Saturday we headed up to Silver Spring, MD to visit with Andrea, our maid of honor, and one of her little ones. It’s nice to realize how many friends we have in this area now that we’ve started counting them on our fingers and trying to contact and see them all.

Traffic wasn’t bad and we actually found a street with plenty of parking just one street over from the museum. We ended up across the street at the National Gallery of ArtContinue reading “Gettin’ some culture”
