A Trip to GW

Lucy sent in all her applications and when she was accepted to GW, her top choice, she wanted to go take a peek, just to make sure.  We went with her and it was a fun, quick trip to DC where we got to stay with the Homer's, see the cherry blossom madness, and finally go to the African American History museum.  

 We were not the only ones interested in seeing the Obama portraits.  Man DC sure feels different under the reign of the orange tyrant....

 Horrible tacky art has always been with us.  It's just the older stuff is deemed museum worthy. 

 A quick run through of the American History museum

 The blossoms were madness.  I am not sure how I feel about these ridiculous crowds.  I think the crowds, however, were the main attraction, rather than the blossoms. Prime people watching.

 This little shop on GW campus made us think of Uncle, clearly. 

 This hippo was purchased by a Uni pres for his wife, who said, it could live on campus.  So now the hippo is the unofficial mascot. 

 The African American Museum was incredibly powerful.  At the end was a montage of an Obama speech that made Lucy weep for where we are now. 

Anson is a cute little bugger...
