Our final stop on the great odyssey is the DC area. Our first night was with Aunt Juanita and Uncle Carlton in Woodbridge, VA. We had a great time with them, catching up on family, politics, and travel. We also got to see Justine who is off to Oxford this month. The 2 final nights were in DC where we saw Adam, Maura and Tanith for dinner night one. Adam spent the next day with us doing the tourist thing and showing us his new home. We spent the entire day in the National Portrait Gallery and walking around the Tidal Basin. The NPG was fabulous. The current show featured Rose Frantzen, Jim Torok, and Rebecca Westcott. Take a look. You will be very impressed. Pay attention to the scale, too. The other show I enjoyed was the portrait competition. It was thrilling to see the variety and skill of these artists.
On our walk to the Tidal Basin, I saw a Luis Jimenez sculpture in front of the American Art Museum. What a serendipity! This is the same sculptor we saw and studied in Santa Fe. The walk around the Basin was warm with bright sun and peak cherry blooming. Tomorrow we head home, happy to be going there.
