Visiting Aunt Margot. And Sri!

We went to DC over the long weekend to visit Aunt Margot.  Sasha had a blast playing high energy games, jumping and skipping and running about.  With an eye to toddler entertainment, we went to the National Museum of Natural History and the National Building Museum.  Unfortunately,  the Bub slept for 3 hours while we wandered around the crowded Smithsonian waiting for him to wake up.  He finally did, and saw the "bone dinosaurs" and other cool things, though I think his excitement was muted by the deep sleep.  By the time we headed to the Building Museum, he was ready for fun.  I loved the place even though we didn't see much.  A whole corner of the Great Hall was dedicated to foam blocks, wooden sticks, legos, and other random building supplies that were scattered all over the floor.


Very kid-friendly despite its imposing stature.  Also a perfect labyrinthine running track for being chased by Aunt Margot.

"Together, Aunt Margot!" at the neighborhood playground.

And Triceratops, too.

  1. What a great visit! And so much fun to read the blog from soooo far away. Aunt Margot is now definitely "in the loop" on all levels! And glad you beat the snow home.

  3. What fun it looks like! I love the pic of Sasha looking into the coin fountain. What a great view that must be just laying on your stomach and gazing into the water (and throwing coins of course.) And a place to build & destroy with foam blocks, sticks and Legos. How ingenious! I love the floor/tile where Sasha and Margot are building things. What a great place. Sasha is a very luck little boy!

  4. Sri is Margot's very sweet dog who is justifiably irritated by little people with no regard for a dog's personal space.
