Washington D.C. (Week 19: May 5-11)

We went to Washington D.C. this week for a conference with the Association of Centers for the Study of Congress. Because our Congressional Papers archivist left a year and a half ago, I was asked to go as a substitute. So Romney came with me and enjoyed the Smithsonian Museums while I sat through the conference. Then, when I was done for the day, we'd meet up and go see something together.

The conference was held in the National Archives building. Here I am on the front steps. However, I had to go in around the back where researchers go in.



(Romney) The first day, while Dainan was at his conference I went to the National Gallery of Art and Sculpture Garden. There were so many spectacular paintings and works of art. Here are some of the many that I saw. Recognize any of these?

  1. That must have been a crazy long flight(s)! Sounds like a fun trip (especially for Romney).

  2. It's too bad I didn't know you guys were out here, I would have tried to meet up with you guys in DC. (Did you know that I moved out here in October?)

    1. Hi Ann-Marie, Aww too bad! I knew you were out there at the new library but thought you were further away from DC. Next time...:)
