While Mom was here, we went to the National Indian Museum, the orchid exhibit inside of the botanical gardens, and also went to the National Geographic museum. The exhibit at the NG museum was the terracotta warriors. Since most of these places don't allow photographs, it was hard getting any, but I DID take a few. It was kind of rainy and gloomy the last 4 days of Mom's visit, but overall it was fun. We did lots of shopping, since malls don't really exist in the south (good ones, anyway) and then we did a lot of eating of crabcakes. We went to Mccormick and Schmidt, found a German bakery, and went up to G Street Farbics. I think she had a pretty good time with the shopping and crabcakes alone, without all the tourism things. But, the terracotta warriors was amazing to see, especially since I was within an arms reach of something that was created in 200 BC... wow. The National Geographic museum was pretty interesting, there was just enough writing to learn about the warriors and just enough things to see. The American Indian museum wasn't too great, but I guess there's just no main exhibit right now, I'll have to check it out when there's something going on. Well, that about summed up her trip to DC.
