A few more images, pre-Christmas 2008

On the Saturday before Christmas Chris and Kyla met Jessica, Bob and I in DC. It's a good halfway point between Richmond and Milford and Jessica had planned to spend a few days alone with them before Christmas. This was a good way to get her there without driving all the way to Richmond and a good chance to expose Kyla to Washington DC. We had a lot of fun, visiting the Arboretum and seeing all the holiday decorations. They had an exhibit of replicas of all the important monuments created entirely out of plan material. I mentioned this before, but wanted to post some images to show you what I was talking about.

Here are a few examples of the incredible artistry. Little toy trains ran through the whole of it as well and it was quite delightful.

Back side of the Smithsonian Castle - Unfortunately, this museum that houses, among other things, Dorothy's shoes from the Wizard of Oz, was closed for renovations!
