Day #4 in DC: Brunch, Zoo, and Musical
[Photos from 02 August 2015, text from, ahem, 01-02 October 2015. How’d that happen?!?!]
It was a warm Sunday, and me and the kids followed the other Icelanders down to the Adams Morgan neighborhood to have brunch at a trendy cafe. Our hosts and us then walked/hiked (it was hilly!) to the National Zoo (free entry!), where we walked around in the crowds for a bit before giving in to the moaning children, and walking back.
I went on an emergency shoe trip, since we were going to see a musical at the Kennedy Center that night, and I only had sneakers. The only drawback: my feet grew a size last winter, and I’m now a US 12/European 43. This means I can walk into most shoe stores, ask if they have anything in my size, and generally walk right back out again.
Happily, I did score some nice silver sandals at one store, so all was not lost. But, we ate dinner outside at a restaurant by the Kennedy Center where, as I would discover a few hours later, some flies took advantage of my uncovered feet and went to biting town. Grrr!
The Book of Mormon musical was a lot of fun, probably made even funner by the fact that we got to know quite a few Mormons when we lived in California: Lovely people all of them, but just ever so slightly different. (37 images total)
