Our Mini Vacation to Washington DC

Smart Girls DIY has moved to SmartGirlsDIY.com and this post can now be found here

OMG was it good.  I'm not one to photograph my food, but I couldn't resist.  I had the Pumpkin Cinnamon Dumpling with Lingon Berry Cream and it was quit possibly the best $5.50 I ever spent!  The Wild Rice and Watercress Salad was to die for as well!  If I was smart I would have purchased the Mitsitam Cafe Cookbook.  But how many cookbooks do you have sitting on your shelf that never get opened.  Right?  Well this one was voted Best in the World, so maybe I'd open it.  It was $23.95 at the museum, but only $16.88 at Walmart. 

We spent about an hour in the museum as well because there's a really nice children's section on the 3rd floor.  I was fascinated with the thatched roofing, which of course made me think about the unfinished surf shack bed project I have going on at home.  And the tipi made us all think about the wedding we went to in Nova Scotia last summer (read that post here).
