On Sunday, I met Laura and the girls in Whitemarsh and brought them home for a few days. We had such a nice time. Nina and Lilly were around and Lucy and Lilly had a lot of fun playing together.
Nina has a cute new haircut! Molly just had a lot of fun with whoever she could find to smile at.
What a happy kid.Today we went down to DC to pass the day.
Andrew is working in Arlington for a few days and Laura will stay down there until they all go home.We went back to the National Gallery, and it was just awesome. This time we spent more time in the East building, which contains more modern and American art. We were disappointed that there were no MC Escher works on display, but we will go back sometime to see them because that was all Brendan wanted to see.
There were still so many really wonderful works there! I loved this huge cutout by Matisse,
but I think that's because it looks like a fabulous quilt. The boys didn't care for it.I also like the French painters.
We went over to the West building because there was a great exhibit called the Art of Power. You can read about it here. I wasn't able to take any pictures because it is a private collection, but it was absolutely amazing!
We enjoyed seeing all the really old icons and religious art as well.
I think my favorite was this one by Da Vinci though. Wow.
I want to go back by myself sometime, so that I can just sit and look and soak it up. The boys were AWESOME, but they only want to see so much and once they have seen it, they want to move on.
