When you live so close to a great city, you tend not to appreciate it as much (or visit it as much) as you could - - but once you have been away, you bappreciate it more. So my first weekend home I just had to spend the day downtown....We went to an exhibit called "Bodies". It was so cool. They were all real human bodies - the organs, muscles and tissues preserved by some kind of polymer treatment. It was fascinating to see God's handiwork up close. I was reminded of Psalm 139...we are fearfully and wonderfully made. I don't know how anyone could go through that whole exhibit and still question the existence of God. Amazing. (The only thing that kind of creeped me out was the display of the complete [empty] skin of a human!)
One of my favorite "people-watching" spots is on the river in Georgetown. It was such a beautiful day, we sat outside and enjoyed the view - shoppers, boaters, etc...that's the Kennedy Center in the background...Later that night my friend Christie treated me to a new restaurant she likes - one of her favorite chefs. (I'd tell you the name if I remembered!) But it was great food, and a wonderful end to a wonderful day.
