From Wheaton to Ethiopia

The photo shows Max in the treehouse in the Childrens’ Garden at Brookside Gardens this morning.

The sunshine made it a great day to get out, so we all went in to DC for strolling and monuments this afternoon. On the way back to Wheaton we had dinner at the Queen of Sheba. My search for its web page shows that many cities have an Ethiopian restaurant of that name, but this was indeed the one in DC. We had a very good and filling meal, although the kids weren’t sure what to make of their first try of Ethiopian food.

Zoo Day

We went to the National Zoo today. As you can see, it was tiring…

National Building Museum

We wandered, together as a family, to the National Building Museum. As you can see, the building itself is impressive.

That said, the museum features the Building Zone for kids 2-6. It also currently (until July 11) features an exhibition about parking garages, which is a lot more interesting than it sounds (really, it is).

I’m posting this directly in the WordPress blog, since I wasn’t happy with the notes and snapshots I captured in Evernote while at the museum.
