We headed downtown this morning to go to the National Book Festival. We decided to have a breakfast of cilantro eggs and salmon at Teaism first though. We got there before they opened so we took the opportunity to walk around the Navy Memorial and National Archives building a little bit.
Escalators are one of Georgie's favorite things.
The book festival was extremely crowded. I wasn't expecting. I thought there might be a few hundred people but there were thousands. A lot of the people were in line to get best-selling authors to sign their books. We didn't have any interest in this, although we would have liked to have seen John Irving read. His reading was scheduled for Georgie's naptime though so that was out. Instead we mostly got a lot of free tote bags and rode the carousel. We rode it twice, once with each parent, because Georgie cried when it stopped the first time. She cried when it stopped the second time too, but by then we had spent 10 bucks on it.

If you ever want to break Georgie of her carousel habit (to save you some money), I'd recommend showing her the carousel scene from Hitchcock's Strangers On a Train. A great movie - Steve and I just watched it a couple of weeks ago. The part of the scene that shows the horse's head coming at the camera - awesome (but terrifying for kids, I'm sure). You can find it on YouTube.
ha ha ... dark!
Glad to see your burnt orange was out in force!
