Art on the Walls

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend. For Turkey Day itself, we went over to my cousin's for the main meal and it was great fun for Geek Girl to play with the girls and neighbor boy and we had fun meeting cousin's friends.

On Friday, we sent Geek Girl to art camp. She likes art, we would have six hours without her, what can go wrong? Well, someone forgot to open up the community center on time, but we were able to clean out the front room and she created three works of art.

And so finally, after living here almost eight months, we finally have art on the walls. Here is Geek Girl's latest creation. A Sophie Harding inspired giraffe.


And Ansel Adams flanked by a couple of Uncle K prints.


On Sunday, Geek Girl woke up early and it was a clear day so we decided to head down to the Mall and go up the Washington Monument. Daddy Geek dropped me off at 8:30 am and the earliest we could get tickets was for 11:30 am. So we headed down to Gravelly Point to watch planes land. Hopefully Daddy Geek will post the video soon.

We also had the opportunity to walk *in* the reflecting pond as we were waiting for our ticket time.


It was a nice Thanksgiving weekend, but I wish it had been earlier so we would have more time to get ready for Christmas.

note: Edited to change nine months to eight months. Apparently I can't count these days. I have confirmed that I can still do simple derivatives, but unfortunately my integration is not as quick as it used to be.
