Holiday Fun In DC, 2

We both had projects to work on in DC--Vicki's photo album for Rachel and my incipient photo book on our treks--so we did not get out all that much. Nonetheless...
At the National Portrait Gallery


Part of the old building


At the National Museum of American History...Julia Child's kitchen
Art Deco car



Note innovative approach to child passenger safety

We watched several years' worth (for us) of TV during the
month, Victoria, The Crown, Final Table, Great British
Baking Show, Shetlands; also Game of Thrones and
Handmaid's Tale

Interestingly--some would say depressingly--the Museum's most popular
exhibit is Dorothy's ruby slippers
























Another stop was the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery, for
its No Spectators exhibition of art from Burning Man


Dome of its Temple creation


Notes and memorials


Among the symbols

Some fairly breath-taking constructions


No, we're not going to become Burners

Den of Iniquity

Flags at half mast for George H. W. Bush

As we were departing, I noticed the Trump jet parked on the tarmac at National...
for a fast get-away, I presume...
