there's the Maya exhibit
Which I recommend, BTW.
And on the south side of the Mall there's the Freer - oriental art and lots of Whistler (including the Peacock Room).
I also recommend, though I won't be there because I'm already there so often. The Freer also connects to the Ripley International Gallery (which has rotating exhibits -- the current one is on Chinese writing), the Sackler Gallery of Asian Art (see the money sculpture over the pool and the Buddha heads exhibit), and the Museum of African Art (no special exhibit currently).
I'm coming to the F2F! I don't have much in the way of details yet. Except for what I'm wearing Saturday night, which is, of course, the most important detail to have.
I need a roommate if I am to stay at the hotel. I even have an airbed I can bring if someone wants to rent me floor space. This will have to be as no-frills as possible, as I am Desperately Poor.
SA, do you already have travel plans? Steph is flying right? I'd like to drive, but I can't justify driving that far by myself. Want/need a lift, SA? What about any other Midwest types? I'll be traveling from southern Indiana - if someone wants to meet in Columbus, IN, or anywhere along the route, I'd love to form a Fun Van!
Yay, for both Katefate and Tom.
Hey, skipping a few posts - I'd be up for a visit to the planes at Dulles; haven't done that yet.
Or just hanging out on the Mall and buying political stickers.
I booked my room today and apparently got the group rate for all four nights.
Damn.
OK, I'm calling them in the damn morning.
To a large degree I'm gonna play it by ear. So much of my life has to be seriously scheduled that when it's time for vacation I really despise getting locked into a schedule in any way.
What ND said. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY, by the way!
I do plan on going to see the Spy Museum at some point, however; probably Sunday morning...if I'm awake Sunday morning.
