Visit with daughter in Maryland

G and I just returned from a four day visit with daughter.  One of the highlights was a visit to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. G has been listening to a biography of Leonardo da Vinci so was thrilled to see a painting of his: Ginevra de Benci.  This is the only painting of his in the Western Hemisphere. Leonardo is one of Gerry's heroes.


A second hero of his is Einstein. 


Seems his daughter likes him too.


I enjoyed the museum and memorials but am always drawn to nature.  On the way to MD we chose a scenic route instead of on the toll road.  The leaves are just starting to come out in Ohio. This is Lake Tappan.

Glad you were able to see RM again as it is so hard having our kids so far away.

I am going to try to remember that fun fact about da vinci paintings!

We too have photos of sitting on Einstein's lap, from our first visit to DC.
The flowers look wonderful.
