This month we learned that we will be moving to Texas in summer 2013, giving us 18 months to enjoy the DC area. With this in mind, we are prioritizing seeing everything we want to see and doing everything we want to do. The beauty is that there is always more to do.
After visiting the DC temple in the morning we took the metro to go see an exhibit on Andy Warhol at the National Gallery of Art. We also saw another exhibit on early bronze sculpture in Italy by a guy named Antico. There are always special exhibits rotating through different museums allowing diversity even when you visit the same museum multiple times. We have been to the National Gallery of Art at least 5 times since in the area. We ate lunch as a place called Merzi, which I would describe as an Indian Chipotle. You add whatever you want to a plate of rice and eat with Naan bread. Of course we are boycotting the real Chipotle and everything resembling Mexican for the next 18 months since we'll get plenty of that in Texas. We will miss the diversity of food here!
Our museum tolerance is usually only a few hours, but as we were walking back to the metro, an exhibit called "What's cooking Uncle Sam" at the National Archives caught our eye. It was an exhibit showing the impact of the US government on food and food consumption. Looked interesting so we went to have a look. The development of the food pyramid or wheel was interesting. So was all of the food propaganda from World War II.
