The main reason that I wanted to go down was because the Pioneer Woman was there. So we got there just in time to see her speak- Jesse went down to a different tent to see Brad Metzler and Suzanne Collins. Graham went with Jesse.
Nate stayed with me. This is how he felt about listening to Ree speak:
But later in the day I had her sign my cookbook.
There was a PBS Kids tent there, and it was super crowded, so we didn't spend much time in the tent, but outside of the tent they had all sorts of characters lined up. We first found them when it was just Nate and I, so we got a quick picture with Curious George- a favorite at our house.
And later a picture with Clifford. At first Graham thought he wanted to see Clifford too, but then at the last minute he got scared, as we suspected. He is terrified of "character people." He did really want to see George, but unfortunately they rotated who was out, and he kept on missing him.
But finally, at the end of the day, we walked by, and THERE HE WAS!!! And Graham actually went up to him, and hugged him, and was not scared of him. I was totally shocked! He's still scared of all of the rest of them though.
The National Art Gallery was having a special exhibit with the works of Guiseppe Archimboldo. Usually I would avoid taking my boys into an art museum as I would avoid the plague, but we thought this may be interesting enough, so we tried it. They actually were pretty well behaved, so that was nice. They thought the pictures were pretty funny.
So it was a pretty fun day for us. We got to ride the Metro, which the boys always love, and we went into the National Air and Space Museum for a little while, which the boys love as well. So all in all, a good adventure!
