As I promised back on the 18th of May, here are some photos from my weekend in Washington DC with mom. Our time on the National Mall was… extensive. Mom swore to dad that I was trying to kill her again (the previous time was on our cruise when we took the hellish hike). Dad e-mailed Amy that I had taken mom on a DC Death March. Amy responded to him “Oh no! I sent Trina the link to dcdeathmarch.com as a joke!” Heh, my family!
Me in DC
I’m in DC standing next to a giant metal flower. Like you do.
Arlington Cemetery
A blue jay pays his respects to one of the fallen.
The White House
’nuff said.
Washington Monument
It’s tall & pointy!
First Lady’s Garden
Beautiful garden near the Capitol and the American Indian Museum.
Lincoln Memorial
Am I the only one who thinks of Logan’s Run when I see this statue?
Non-reflecting Pool
Time to Photoshop some water into this picture!
My trip partner
It’s me mum! Really though, it’s my older sister – she can’t be old enough to have had me!
Artomatic: Beaker!

Artomatic: Who, M.D.
Who, M.D. by A. T. Tribby (always great to see other Doctor Who fans out there!)
Artomatic: Peep Dioramas!
The Peeps dioramas were BRILLIANT at Artomatic. If you’re in D.C. while it’s still going on (till June 23rd!), be sure to go to the 9th floor of Artomatic to see them all. If you can’t read the text under each segment:
“What people who enter the WaPo Peeps Diorama Contest think Peeps are.”
“What scientists think Peeps are.”
“What kids think Peeps are.”
“What Just Born thinks Peeps are.”
“What Peeps think they are.”
“What Peeps really are.”
