Isaiah was clearly very happy about having his picture taken.
I tried to match the little reindeer plant in the background on the right.After the Gardens, Isaiah planned to meet up with Jake--his best friend from California--and Jake's younger brother, Ethan, at the Air and Space Museum. Before they arrived we took a detour to the National Gallery of Art. We saw some very famous paintings by some very famous artists. One highlight was Ginevra de' Benci, the only da Vinci painting in the Western Hemisphere. There was also a lot of old Renaissance pictures that smelt old and looked cool.
Eventually we met up with Jake and Ethan and made our way to the Air and Space Museum. I knew Isaiah was looking forward to this museum, but I didn't realize just how much he is into bomber planes and air crafts and whatnot. He became such a little boy as he talked with his friends about the F14s and the B42s and the thrusters and whatever else was there. You'll have to ask him about that.
On Saturday we had an awesome group date planned with my roommates. First, we drove to the National Portrait Gallery and enjoyed the Normal Rockwell exhibit and the Elvis exhibit. Next, we all went out to eat in Chinatown. We went to an authentic Chinese place and had some good laughs there. Then Isaiah, RaeLene, and Jay--her date--and I went to the Wizards v Magic game at the Verizon Center in downtown D.C., right next to Chinatown. Although our seats were super high up, Isaiah and I took a detour to the front section for a little while to get a better view of superman. He's pretty big.
Dwight Howard from as close up as I could get.
See how big Howard is...and then notice that McGee is taller than him. What now?
The best part of the game is that they give you these 3D glasses for when the players are introduced at the beginning. We missed that part, but we got the glasses. I like this picture because I look super cool and Isaiah doesn't.
