Anne and I had professional meetings in DC the beginning of the week, and so we went a bit early to tour DC a bit. We saw the MLK monument for the first time and Anne got to see the small girl scout exhibit in the
National Museum of American History and the exhibit on
Little Golden Books. Also saw a red fox run across the path while we were there. They are re-doing a part of the monument to fix a quote.
Anne also got to fly her kite by the Washington Monument, which is undergoing some fixing after the earthquake several months ago.
We then went to East Lansing MI, where Anne is working the
Midwest Folklife Festival, which is embedded in the larger
Great Lakes Folk Festival. We took the fast ferry across Lake Michigan, which made the trip very relaxing compared to driving around Chicago! We also stopped at the WI State Fair and picked up a cream puff before leaving to MI.
