4th of July 2013 (part 2)

Ben’s parents came down to visit over 4th of July weekend. His parents stayed with his aunt and uncle, who live in Tenlytown, near American University. We spent some time with the whole clan while Ben’s parents were here and did some touristy things too.

Here are my photos from our day at the Library of Congress. If I recall correctly it was plain old hot that day. There was so much to keep us occupied at the LoC that we were there for over 4 hours, before heading to Tenlytown for dinner. The following day Ben took his parents to see The Star Spangled Banner at the American History Museum (while I went to Pilates) and then I met up with them at EPA HQ to walk through the Smithsonian Folklife Festival to get to the Time and Navigation Exhibit at the Air and Space Museum. It was an absolute DC-style museum binge for two days straight. I was all museumed out by the time we took the metro home to Rockville to try out Spice X-ing and show Ben’s parents our apartment.
