Museum day

Instead of walking all the way from the metro to museum, we took a bike cart. Poor guy needing to carry all 3 of us.

Went to the Native American Museum. That is much newer than some of the others and well kept. There were also fewer people there. DD enjoyed it so much, especially all the statues and videos.

Then off to the air and space museum, which I thought had not been well kept. The part she loved was the hands on part about lift and how things worked.

We had an early day in. All our feet hurt from all the walking. So, we had dinner at the Crystal City mall and back for a swim.

Vacation time

Well, we are together in DC. You can see the sites we went to yesterday. It was lots of walking and getting to the monuments were a bit away from each other, but we saw the monuments Check Spellingand had a good day.

Ended up doing dinner with my best friend that I've known for lots of years.
I went to bed early.

Photos

No sewing done today.

It was field day at DD's school, so I helped out with that. Learned a new game -- Newcomb. Volleyball with a twist.

Then, we had to go shopping for shoes.

After that I came home and put together a dog outfit for DD's play tomorrow. She was a kangaroo and now is a spotted dog. LOL
But, these are the quilts I finished yesterday.
This is an old UFO. They were swap blocks I didn't know what to do with. DD wanted her teacher to have a yellow and green quilt and picked these blocks. I always start with my UFO cabinet to see if anything I've already started can be used for a gift. I had to make one more block to finish off the quit. The batik was just not very appealing to me, so I used the yellow sashing to brighten it some. It became larger than I expected, but i used all the green swap blocks. :) This is the label DD "wrote"
Hidden wells. Fun project and looks much more complicated than it is. Here is the label DD "wrote"
