We recently went to D.C. to visit some of Lenore's family. We had a great time visiting Austin & William, Laura & Joe, Lyla & Tracy, and lunching with Zita (delicious!). Highlights include: trick or treating at the white house (of all the nerve, nobody answered, so we TP�d the place and peed on the rose garden), visiting the Spy Museum (very cool) and the Holocaust Museum (overwhelming and sad, but a must-see), going out for Vietnamese food (and getting a birthday present too!) riding in Laura's Mini to Baltimore to see Zita, going to the big Eastern market with Laura, sampling homemade ice cream after spaghetti at Lyla and Tracy�s, and wandering through the American Visionary Museum (it�s in Baltimore, but worth the drive!). We also got a crash course in abacus use (abacussing?) from Joe and made fabulous crepes with Austin and William (and Edvard the Basset Hound). The crepes were inspired by our visit to see Julia Child�s kitchen at the Smithsonian. We also visited Archie and Edith Bunker�s chairs, Mr. Roger�s sweater and Fonzie�s leather jacket (which I always thought was black, but it�s brown!). Here are a few pics from the visit.
