i love the kennedy center.  it's a beautiful place to see and listen to art.

'a streetcar named desire' is such an aching, tumultuous story.

i am looking forward to it.  here's one review.

other plans include:

breakfast at eastern market -

i can't decide if i will have the brick, blueberry bucks, or the french toast.

decisions, decisions.

the '1934: a new deal for artists' exhibit at the smithsonian american art musem -

you can check it out for yourself here.

dinner or lunch at matchbox -

i love the mini trio appetizer, it's perfect for sharing with a salad.

and maybe this:

great falls is one of my most favoured spots in the dc area.

i go here to renew and think, and especially, when i need nature and not city.

i love dc.

have a great weekend wherever you are.
