Today Rachel and I ate cinnamon rolls and photographed a blue jay before heading out on our bike tour of the mall. Our intended destination was the newly renovated American History Museum. We were (read: Rachel was) especially interested in seeing the Lincoln exhibit. (She has a strange attraction to his top hat.) This weekend would be his 200th birthday, should he have managed to live that long. After we were done there we went down the Mall to the Vietnam War Memorial and then up to the Lincoln Memorial (where we saw some dudes in fancy costumes) before heading back home. Tonight scallops, pasta, cheesecake, and (I’m hoping) a game of Settlers of Catan are all on the menu. My Valentine’s Day present was a copy of the latest Settlers expansion, Traders and Barbarians. (I know even though I haven’t opened it yet.)
Anyway, here are a few pics from the day:
