You rock! In many, many ways. Thanks for the pimpage AND the pic. I love the way it captures what we do.
MWAH.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

the Peacock Room at the Freer!
That is one of my favorite places.
I've heard the International Spy Museum is quite the thing to see. I don't know what the lines are like now, the one time I tried to get in was a few months after it opened and even though we got there within an hour of opening, the line was already halfway around the block and they were only letting in people as others left.

Ann, that's a ferret.
bonny, the Botanical Garden is down the hill from the Capitol -- there's a nice orchid exhibit there right now. And the National Museum of the American Indian is basically across the street (with a cafeteria that's a good place to splurge on lunch, if you're so inclined). Both are roughly at 3rd and Independence, S.W.
I always like to recommend Woodrow Wilson's retirement home on S Street near Dupont Circle.
The Asian and African museums (kind of behind the Smithsonian Castle, between the Mall and Independence just the other side of 7th Street) frequently have textile exhibits.

I can't remember who it was who linked, long ago, to the 70% chocolate cake recipe, but I want to publicly thank the linker, once again.
Trading on the 'If I'd known you were coming, I'd have baked you a cake' old saw...I made that cake last night and added roasted peanuts to the frosting. Oy. It is so, so very.

The Spy Museum was like $15 or $18 to get in when my sis and I went by there this January, which offended me in a place like DC so we walked off in a huff.

Hm. Interesting...
The Peacock Room is completely on the list, as is the orchid collection. There is also an interesting lecture at the American Indian Museum we might hit. Plus, the Hirshorn is showing a shot-by-shot recreation of Raiders of the Lost Ark that two kids made between 1982 and 1986. Apparently, it is quite the thing. The only problem will be the line, I'm sure.

In as much as I might enjoy the Spy museum, this offends me as well. SO spendy for, what I'm given to understand is a lot of reading and not much wow.

Holy CATS. The tickets to the Newseum are $20!!! Wow. It's been a while since I've done the touristy thing. I had no idea.

ACK younger than me!!
and I feel so freaking old today already
(I actually have an aunt who became a grandmother for the first time the year she turned 40, what I'm going to be this year. Ooh that burned her toast! But she was the one who had her son super young, he was like 23 when he had his first kid.)
