More tourism...

Today Tony and I hit up:

1. The Smithsonian Folklife Festival - an annual event that highlights a country, state, and 'thing.' This year the selection was: Bhutan, Texas, and NASA. It was pretty cool! We saw some Bhutanese dance, listened to a session on ecotourism, visited the booths, and checked out a model of one of the rocket engines for the 2020 trip to the moon.
   
2. The National Air and Space Museum
3. The National Archives - the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Marbury v. Madison, & the Magna Carta (Mrs. Steen would have been so proud)
4. Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery

We also experienced a DELUGE of rain that I am pretty sure was one step under what was experienced by Noah!

I finally caught up on some much needed sleep this weekend and am ready for another busy week. Tomorrow I have a lunch meeting with people from the Chicago Climate Exchange...so cool!
