Wednesday afternoon, I flew down to Virginia to spend a few days with my daughters. It was a much needed vacation. I had the opportunity to spend Thursday with my younger daughter. We spent the day in Washington DC. She showed me her "neighborhood" where she works as a house manager at Ford's Theater. The theater was closed to tourists but she got permission to show me around. 
After lunch at a local landmark--bacon cheeseburgers at Ollie's Trolley--we went to the Smithsonian Museum of American Art to see the National Portrait Gallery. It was so much more than that. Each new painting renewed my creative spirit. I drank it all in and took a few photos too. Then we took a walk to the Sculpture Garden followed by tea at Teaism, a local tea shop. 
It was just wonderful to connect with her and spend the day together. We talk on the phone regularly and e-mail too but every mother knows how important it is to see our children in person and to have a "heart to heart". Friday? Different daughter. Different Adventure. Equally wonderful!
Wonderful days for you, Kathy. I'm so glad you had the opportunity to be with your girls.
