Evan picked the Smithsonian Natural History Museum which is one of the fan favorites. We hit the fossil hall, gems and minerals, mammals and had a snack at the cafe. We spent a good two hours inside looking and reading. There was a place where you could see yourself morph into one of the pre-human species. The images were not so good but we gave it a try. We ubered back to the house and then headed out later for dinner at Yardbird
Hot enough for a parasol

A fancy bar
A mocktail for Evan
Sipping the sweet nectar
Oh no, it is too much

The kitchen is a hive of activity

Dessert has brought him around again
An odd looking PT Cruiser
Bold and bricks heading home
