Time out! Both of you!
"I'm dreaming of an island, far, far away..."
Construction of the new Asian area to permanently house "Butterstick" aka Tai Shan.
We met for lunch then hunted down the car and drove out to the Aquatic Gardens which were created by Walter B. Shaw, a one-armed Civil War Veteran with a passion for water lilies. It's said that with the help of his daughter, Shaw dug over 45 ponds by hand. It's quite an amazing sight.
Next on the list was the National Arboretum. Some of the facilities were closed but we made the most of the Capital Columns; 22 columns that once stood around the Capital Building...
...and the National Herb Garden and the Asian Collections
When we got home, hungry and exhausted we decided to venture down Columbia and stopped off at Mantis where we were treated to a one-of-a-kind personal freak show! Above, see Anica doing her best Nutty Professor impersonation while Adam and Joe, our biometrics teachers, demonstrate...
We managed to escape unscathed and made a hasty retreat to a restaurant on Connecticut which I don't remember the name of (don't read too much into that...), maybe it was Cosi's? Anica?
