Washington, Day Two, Part (A)

Well, I am totally bummed.

I travelled two thousand miles to see the exhibit of the First Ladies' Inaugural Ball Gowns, and couldn't see it. Seems they are in the Museum of American History, and that has been closed for two years for renovation. Won't be open again till October.

I had no idea how much that meant to me until I was told I couldn't do it.

I am still sulking.

  4. It tickled me, too, which is why I adjusted my profile to include it. Unlike the "Scourge of the Internet," which I didn't document. It wasn't more than a month or so that some troll (whether the same or not) accused me of self-aggrandizement: "and she calls herself the scourge of the internet!"

    No fear of that, with this one!

  5. The First Ladies gowns is a wonderful exhibit. Its worth the return trip.

    Its impressive to see the way that the gowns changed with the invention of the sewing machine.

    I love looking at Jackie Kennedy's gown and could look at it over and over. Its exceptionally Queen quality.
