Today I walked 3.17 miles on the track at AU. On the way I saw this dead rat. Well, I think it was dead. It could have been drunk and passed out. I’m not sure. Either way, it was freshly dead because there were no bugs or anything eating at it.
On another note, I went to my 35th high school reunion last night. We had a great time. It was fun seeing old friends and catching up with them. Many had changed and others looked the same.
Spring break is here! Today I started spring break. Warren and I decided to go downtown to the museums and enjoy the wonderful weather we are having. However, the weather is going to change tomorrow with the chance of snow…albeit slight.
Today we took the Metro down to the National Mall. Our destination was the National Museum of American History. We wanted to see the food exhibit. Warren was interested in seeing the Julia Child kitchen and I was interested in seeing the Virginia wine exhibition as part of a larger exhibition on wine in America. We got to see both of those and several other exhibits.
After a quick snack, we decided to head down to the Cherry Blossoms at the Tidal Basin. We walked past the Washington Monument on the way. Once at the Tidal Basin, we enjoy the cherry blossoms with the throngs of people checking them out. They were past peak blossom but they were still beautiful. We walked around and took pictures and enjoyed the scenery.
After the Cherry Blossoms, we walked back to the Metro and headed home. Our legs were tired and it was time to rest awhile. We enjoyed some Virginia wine for dinner and relaxed the rest of the evening.
