The rest of our Washington weekend

On Sunday we got to attend Wendy's Unitarian Universalist service and hear the inspiring, talented and provocative Dr Melissa Harris-Perry speak. Many of her comments will echo in my head for years to come.

Then it was off to the Air & Space museum to meet the newly-turned 11 year old, Nuan, her cousin and mum - our friend Kelly. We lucked into a great - but lengthy - tour. Saw the Wright brothers machines and Amelia Earhart's plane - not the one she disappeared in ;-)  and space stuff galore. Ate in the world's worst food court (it did have lots of windows; the food was awful and expensive).

Next up was a birthday cupcake and then the Spy museum. Fun history of spying, a focus on the Cold War and its amazing escapades and gadgets, and Bond - of course. But nothing on commercial espionage or the NSA / wikileaks /etc. Could definitely have done with an update in that regard, though it would of course be controversial.

Fun things to do in DC! George, do you want to go with Sophie???

and then bright and early (or dark and early in January) we headed to the airport.
