I was in Washington, D.C. over the weekend and it was a festive time for a visit. I did a lot of walking and saw several of the Smithsonian museums and ended up at the Botanic Garden. The displays were so colorful and inviting so I stayed quite a while so I wouldn’t miss anything. Along with flowers there were replicas of many buildings that were gold in appearance. The garden was full of visitors from all over the world, but it was possible to find places to stand and simply enjoy being there.

Happy Holidays!
