We took the kids to DC this week while Max is tracked out from year-round school. The main event was Max and I going to Max's first ever US National Team soccer game, a World Cup qualifier betwen the US and Cuba, which the
US won handily 6-1.
While in town, we also checked out the
National Zoo, the new
Udvar-Hazy National Air and Space Museum out at Dulles airport, the
Natural History Museum, and the
National Mall. We also saw a neat performance by
Hakim, a star from the Dutch version of Sesame Street, as part of the
Kids Euro Festival that was going on this week in DC.
On the way out of town, we stopped at
IKEA at Potomac Mills and loaded up the van. Now I'm going to be putting together modular Swedish furniture for at least a week!
I posted a number of pictures from the trip and a few videos from the soccer match in
this set over at Flickr.
My favorite photo from the trip is this one...of Molly praying for our government. It could use all the help it can get right now, don't you think?
