Inside the Beltway

On the Mall

More free things to do in Washington,D.C. Cross over from the Air and Space Museum and go through the East and West Galleries of the Art Museum. Andy Goldswothy, the artist who photographs the results of his interacting with nature, has created a really cool sculpture, partly in the East Gallery and partly on its outside. http://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/goldsworthyinfo.shtm. Go in and see the terrific Calder mobile. If the weather is bad use the tunnel to get to the West Gallery and you'll go through a great snack bar and bookstore. Above ground you can ice skate in winter (for a small fee), and anytime enjoy the sculture garden. I actually like spending more time in the West Gallery (but I've discovered that my husband and most of my children don't!)

Hi! Boy would I love to see the Smithsonian! I would probably go around to all the areas and be there for days!

Sudoku for PDA. Hmm...I just used a search engine like Google. Typed in "sudoku pda" and got the following link. There were many more links but this one looks promising. http://www.palmsudoku.com/ Hope you find some you like! (You could also try "Handango.com" or Palmgear.com )

We are off to a 4-H workshop for parents this weekend. We're excited about it. Have a wonderful weekend!
