July 16 & 17

Another weekend passed - only three more! My parents now claim they will be here next weekend. I'll be back in Cleveland the following weekend and then I'll be back in DC for one final weekend! Time flies.

I had a pretty tame weekend trying to knock a couple items off my 'To Do' list. I visited Eastern Market, which is like a flea market, farmer's market, arts & crafts fair thing. It was okay. I was primarily looking for jewelry and they had some really beautiful stuff. It was SO hot, though. Unbearably hot and humid. It ended up storming most of the afternoon after I left there. I spent a lot of time at the National Air & Space Museum, which I enjoyed. Other than that, I stayed at home and just vegged out, watching movies. I don't have to be on the go sight-seeing all the time, do I?

Here are some pictures of my trip to the Air & Space Museum. I enjoyed the 'space' part of it a lot more than the 'air' of it (although, yes, you must get in the air to get into space, I do know that much about aviation). The first is the Hubble telescope that was used for testing here on land... the second is an actual lunar module designed for the Apollo missions to the moon and the third is the Spirit of St. Louis, the plane Charles Lindbergh used to fly across the Atlantic.
