Retreat
Yesterday we retreated from tropical storm Ernesto by visiting a couple of museums - the Smithsonian's Freer and Sackler Galleries. The benefits of going out in a storm are the close parking, and the lack of tourists, which means we disturb less people. 
In a museum full of Asian art the boys loved the plants in the stairwell,
and a door stop near the entrance.
When we actually entered the museum Daniel loved this Chimera, a mythical winged beast from China. I think it reminded him of one of his favorite books Where the Wild Things Are. Notice how he is strapped in the stroller - We all know how quickly he would have climbed on that wild thing.
These are some photos of Isaac's favorites - The bookstore where they had all these cute Asian toys from India and China. They were a bit too expensive to purchase but Isaac enjoyed them for a few minutes. The bookstore, like other Smithsonians, is just as interesting to see as the museum. 
This was Isaac's favorite - I think it because of his appetite for breast milk.
