Another great thing about Washington D.C. is the
Smithsonian.
With so many museums to choose from there is something for
everyone.
And since they don’t charge admission you can bop in and
out when the weather turns on you.
The art museums are far less crowded than those in New
York.
And on one of my visits a bored guard stopped to chat me
up.
I’m pretty sure that the most popular museum is Air &
Space – with good reason.
I don’t know which is more fun the rockets or the antique
planes.
On my last trip I got to see something truly special –
Degas’ original wax sculpture of “The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer.”
There are several bronze casts floating around – including
one at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
That one was my inspiration for becoming an artist, so it
was a real thrill to see the original.
