Rainy Day

Today was rainy, so we all slept in.

It seemed like a good day to visit a museum. And it just so happened to be the Smithsonian's National Museum Day, so admission was free. Hooray! We went with Michelle and Justin.



The lady at the ticket desk told me she didn't think picture taking was allowed inside the museum...but I'm bad, so I decided to chance it and take pictures anyways. But because the museum was so dark, all the pictures ended up looking like this:

But we did get this video!


After the museum we walked over to the library. 




The library had a little market inside with art and books. We looked around. 




And then I saw this!



Pretending to pick John's nose to make him laugh
 since it's hard to hold a laughing pose for 5 minutes. haha! 



And the finished product...

Haha! Not the most flattering portraits, but I love it!


We had a ton of fun, but all good things must come to an end...or must they?



We hung out all lazy like for the rest of the day.


And then John wanted to go to the Apple Store to check out the new iPhone 6 and find out if it's really worth $700 (His conclusion: yes, yes it is. Unfortunately, we don't really have $700 lying around, but if we ever find a $700 bill hidden underneath our couch cushions, we know just what to do with it.) Abram and I watched the fountain outside while we waited for John. 



Our city has a tradition that every Fall for about a week some of the town's best and most expensive restaurants offer special meals for only $30 (including an appetizer, entree, and dessert). $30? Sure, why not?


$90 later we walked out with our bellies filled and our pockets emptied. Haha. We hadn't really calculated parking, taxes, and tips into our final bill, but those medium-rare steaks were totally worth it.
