Hangin' Out

We checked out the new American History Museum this weekend. It's been closed for the past several years for renovations, and we're glad it's open again! The museum is beautiful. We took in some old favorite exhibits (First Ladies' gowns), saw a fabulous exhibit commemorating Lincoln's 200th birthday, and had fun at the Discovery center for kids. No need to feel left out--you can tour the Lincoln exhibit online!

Tess loves to be around other kids--even if they aren't paying any attention to her (big kids usually just play around her). She just likes to watch them play. She threw fits of protest with every activity station we left. She could have stayed there all day.

Tess has claimed these one lb. weights as her own at exercise class. She takes one in each hand and does chest flies with them. That's pretty good, considering that she is lifting 1/20th of her body weight in each hand!
