Days 105-107: Despite the demands of a busy fall semester during her Ph.D. studies at American University, Abby still found the time to treat us to some home cooking and take us for a stroll through the National Arboretum. We took her shopping for groceries and home improvement supplies (she doesn’t have a car). While she was busy teaching, we went biking and visited Amy’s high school friend Debby and her husband Craig on Monday.
On Tuesday we did some sightseeing and went to the American Museum of Art. The portraits of prominent early Americans were not only pleasing art, but they were accompanied by informative explanations of the lives and accomplishments of their subjects, characterizing life in the colonial era and early 1800s.
