We packed a lot of things into a 3 day trip and I'll share with you over the next few days a few of things we did. Washington is a great city, with lots to do. I've done the museums before so on this trip, taking advantage of the HOT summer weather we spent a lot of time doing outdoor activities, one of them being the Folklife Festival that was held at the National Mall. A festival dedicated to the arts and crafts from around the world, it was a real experience to see some of the artisans in person completing their work. The grounds at the mall were full of tents and booths, art, music and dancing, it was a wonderful stop on a sunny afternoon. And of course we stopped by the festival marketplace where I picked up a souvenir [which I'll share with you a bit later].

I'm back from a jam-packed trip to Washington DC. DC for the fourth of July is 1. Busy. 2. Hot. 3. Patriotic. 4. Hot. Did I mention it was hot?
