I had to get up early and meet my Art History class at Rowan on the bus to head to D.C.
Some slept on the bus, but I was very awake the whole time. It rained almost the whole drive down.
When we got to the city though, the sun came out and it stayed that way all day.
We started at the Hirshorn Museum looking at some very peculiar and interesting pieces of art.
It was Alex's first trip to D.C. ever so I was excited to be able to show her around. I haven't been in quite a while either.
We went as a class to the American Art Museum where we had lunch at the end of a crazy lighted hallway.
Alex and I ran around finding the paintings we needed to identify pretty quickly so we could get out. I found this painting by Seurat that I really like a lot though.
We headed out on the Mall where it had become a perfectly beautiful day.
We saw the usual sights from afar since we didn't have time to get up close to everything.
As an added bonus, the Cherry Blossom Festival was going on. I've never been when the trees were blooming.
We walked around the basin to the Jefferson Memorial where there are Cherry Blossoms lining the waterfront. We watched a group of Indian dancers performing for the Festival before we headed back toward the museums.
We made a quick stop at the Natural History Museum on the way to the National Portrait Gallery. We did the small amount of work we had to do there and then ran out to get food somewhere before we left. We went to a Spanish Tapas place and got a few things off the menu and a beer before we had to run back to meet the class.
We got a group shot of one of the few times we were all together before the bus rolled up to take us home. The drive home was a lot of fun. We talked the whole time. It was like a high school field trip. For some reason riding a bus in the dark with a bunch of people you go to class with is a good time.
It was a long exhausting day but it was great. It made me ready for taking trips this summer.
