Today was the grand opening of the American Art Museum; it's been closed for remodeling, I guess. Anyway, it was packed full of people, artists, free ice cream and popsicles from the Good Humor man, and more than we could possibly see.
We did see "Funney/Strange"--a special exhibition featuring William Wegman (for those of you who watch "Sesame Street" he's the guy with the Weimaraners who dresses them up and takes pictures of them). The girls loved seeing all the dog photographs, and we purchased a copy of his Mother Goose. A dog dressed in a curly wig as Little Miss Muffet never fails to amuse me!
We ate our free popsicles on the steps of the museum before heading over to the convention center so we could see Toben today. We stayed for the opening session of DCLA. Five thousand people singing "O Praise Him!" with David Crowder never fails to give me goosebumps. Wow.
Oh, almost forgot. The museum didn't open at 11 as promised, so we headed across the street to read books in the Washington DC Public Library. We went with a Dr. Suess theme and read two I'd not read before: Bartholomew and the Oobleck and The Lorax. I especially liked Bartholomew.
I've never heard of Bartholomew before, but we love The Lorax.
