Went to the airport this morning with friends. I got them to TSA and then got on the Metro to go sightseeing in DC. The Metro was having a bad morning. The wind was cold. It was a realistic travel experience.
Well, where to go? (1) The US Botanic Garden AKA The National Greenhouse. (2) The Butterfly room at the Museum of Natural History.
But first. What’s this?
That is a new one for me. But, I haven’t been in this area in 3 or 4 years. Things change.
On to the Botanic Garden.
The orchids were great.
I am just guessing that at this time of year, the person who is in charge of this exhibit is really popular with their co-workers.
Hey I am hungry. And it’s getting on 1:30. This area of DC is the food desert. But, Google assures me that I am only 8 minutes away from food.
While munching down my sammie, I realize that I have 4 miles and 8,000 steps logged and I am nowhere near home – so – I enjoy my lunch and decide that I’ll just head back home. It’s the old person thing to do.
On the way to Metro, I pass The Museum of the Bible. I give it wide berth. Don’t want to be struck dead by an avenger angel.
I am skipping dinner at The Asylum. The food is dreadful and my friends are tired of listening to me complain about it. I will make a little pasta and broccoli.
Maybe I’ll go see the butterflies tomorrow.
