So if you go to Washington, its buildings clean and nice

Tomorrow and for the rest of this week, I'll be in Washington, D.C. with my family: we are attempting a vacation. If I'm lucky, this means that I'll spend days on end in the Smithsonian. (And if your name is [livejournal.com profile] strange_selkie, I should have your phone number.) There may be photographs. Mostly, there should be natural history and air conditioning. These are two things I value greatly right now. And now excuse me while I pack a lot of books: we're driving . . .

Maybe I'll see you! If you want freedom from filial obligations, contact me (clgidney@gmail.com)

I love the Smithsonian! Especially the hall of gems in the Museum of Natural History. And the fossils. And the spaceships at the Air and Space Museum. And . . . And . . . :-)

I am in the vicinity, and could possibly find myself in the DC area with sufficient warning.

Oh have fun. Just about every Smithsonian building is worth a day dedicated to itself, and each wing of the National Gallery.

I spent the summers when I was old enough to take the Metro downtown alone but not old enough to work haunting the Mall.

Awesome! And assuming the Museum of American History is still open, you should go see the Henson exhibit. It's a small exhibit, but they had some nice stuff. I was excited.

...Okay, I would have been anyway.

I will tell you that, sadly, there was no Boober Fraggle on display.

Re "So...if you go to Washington"
Ah. I was thinking of sending you some TDTIAB songs along with the 'Bethans piece. Clearly I made the right decision not to bother, even if for all the wrong reasons.
