More of Washington

From the Botanical Garden we have proceeded to Natural History museum ( did not like it that much ), the Archives and Gallery of Art. The Gallery of Art was something to look at. One could spend days there !

Spring break

The Spring vacation followed the Easter this year and our vacation trip started that day.
I was very sorry to "waste" such a glorious day for traveling but there was not really other option.
The Washington DC was in our plans since three years ago if not longer. Finally we made it.
I gotta admit that the timing was right. Kubus was old enough to enjoy it. Actually he enjoyed it too much because he wants to move there and he says he is missing it :)
With so many interesting places to visit we had to pick and chose and sometimes do it in the hurry.
So we started with Supreme Court building, Library of Congress and Botanical Garden. For now...

A little bit of skiing

I am about four weeks behind on that post.
We did get away for a little bit of skiing during very warm  spring winter vacation.
The temperature reached almost seventy, but there was enough snow to keep the kids going.
Nobody complained of being cold!
I chaperoned, who ever needed chaperoning or other kinds of assisting.
The only thing I regret about this winter is the fact that I didn't have a chance to have a good XC run at Pulaski park :(

In search of spring

With my camera around my neck, I have set out to look for the signs of spring. The time was right, it was the first day of spring, quite sunny, not too cold. Well, there weren't many ( signs ), which did not surprise me much. A wave of cold air decided to take over the March in Rhode Island. One can't do nothing about it but hope and wait patiently :)



Not very impressive signs of spring in my backyard :(

Yarn Along



I have finished my owl basket. In eyes of many it might look imperfect but I think it came out very cute; and my kids agree with me. I can fit in it many important things :)
I have started reading " The dance of the dissident daughter " by Sue Monk Kidd. I haven't gotten too far in it yet, but I know I won't be disappointed!
