D.C... Last day in town.

Gotta admit it... if I see one more large stone thing (building, monument, or monolith) or one more piece of art of any kind, my brain is going to explode. I need to go hang out in a Walmart to balance my culture quotient. I have had such a blast canvasing this city with eager eyes and adventurous feet. This final day was no exception.


Although I had a hard time getting myself out of bed, I had reserved a ticket to visit Ford's Theatre and their tour. There I am in the theatre with the Presidential box behind me. I'm sad because the entire theatre is actually a reproduction (except for select artifacts). I then went to the International Spy Museum, but if I show you any of the photos I'd have to kill you. Seriously, photos were prohibited but I was so enthralled that I didn't think to take any. Cool museum. Then I walked a couple blocks to the amazing National Gallery of Art and spent a few hours wandering the seemingly endless labyrinth of rooms of the main gallery (West Building – see above) and the modern art area (East Building – look below). It was a prime example of feeling cultural overload.


Then I made my way out to Arlington and Signature Theatre. After grabbing a bite, I picked up my ticket and headed up to see the show – and the gallery space on the way. I'm excited about the possibilities of exhibiting here. The building itself is amazing, and it reflects well the amazing artistic vibe and adventurous mission of this theatre. Dirty Blonde was really amazing!

Now I'm packing for my early-ish flight and returning e-mails and prepping for tomorrow's audition and music rehearsal. Who says I ever take the easy road? I'm planning on greeting whatever end I meet (hopefully far in the future) with blisters on my feet and my drawing hand, and with a head and heart full of adventuresome memories and love for those I meet along the way. Can it get better? So take care, all! Peace and love.
