The Natural History tour is behind us and we proceeded to the butterfly garden and the sculpture garden before heading to the Art Museum. Here are two of the most beautiful butterflies we found.
Once we got to the Sculpture Garden I saw three specimen that totally blew me away.
I mean, who in their right mind would pay someone to create these objects? At least the funds for the monstosities were via private donations and not Uncle Sam. It's a wonder.We also watched as a young boy dropped his sippy cup into this cool pool.
Everyone tried to retrieve it but the cops wouldn't allow wading and it looked like the kid would have to leave without it until I reached out and grabbed it as it floated by, Everyone applauded, including the cops, but in the excitement, Sis forgot to snap the picture so you'll have to take my word.
After leaving the gallery I found this new monument that I had never seen before:
Seriously, though we were hungry and tired and saw a different slant on all things considered.
Take, for example, the sign on the left. No wonder the country is in such a mess when there is signage like this. Why is the sign rectanular when it's obvious that its really a triangle?We got back on Metro and went to Union Station where we were royally snubbed at Pizzeria Uno.
We sat here at this table, which apparently is the official seat of Ms. Pelosi when she isn't running the country.
Hope she gets better service than we did.
Fortunately, we did find excellent service at the Center Cafe and the Maryland Crabcake sandwhich was delectable to boot.
Vacarro's was fortunately closed by the time we got there for dessert. With a full stomach and a happy time, we boarded Metro and headed for home.
