Tuesday I went to DC with Apple and her mom. Last time Apple and I had gone to DC we decided we’d head back to visit the Crime & Punishment Museum and the International Spy Museum. We decided we’d go when her mom was visiting. (Her mom lives in Fredericton, New Bruswick.)

Tuesday we headed up, metro, lunch, and finally, Crime Museum. We were in there for a little over three hours- it was fabulous. (Also fabulous? DC Museums on a Tuesday.) Really good exhibits, a lot of interactive stations, and just interesting. There were also pirates! The Spy Museum (full disclosure: I’ve been there before.) paled in comparison. I mean, it was interesting enough, but the other was just more interesting. And did not have a wild group of thirteen year-olds running about.

We had a lovely dinner at a pub near the Verizon Center of which I shall upload the picture I took of the dessert menu- lots of offerings with beer.

On Thursday a friend and I decided that we’d go see Carbon Leaf at the 9:30 Club in DC on Friday. If you look at their tour schedule, you’ll note that they’ll be in Richmond this Saturday. Alas, I will not, so this was really my only chance to see them. (Unless I go crash with Phoebs and see the Londonderry show. Hmm..) It was a good trip, except for the fact that we had planned upon eating there, which didn’t work out because the food was a.) unappealing and b.) not well-designed for eating whilst standing. Also of note: club is in a somewhat sketchy neighborhood. Elizabeth insisted upon taking us down side roads instead of main roads. We do not know why Elizabeth was mad at us.
