Catherine and I saw three deer on the way to Crystal City. We caught the Metro to D.C. We walked to the Jefferson Memorial and stopped briefly at The Castle. We walked through the Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden. I photographed the sculpture "Ad Astra," (Virtual Cache) in front of the National Air and Space Museum.
We walked to the circle in the center of “The Potomac” lobby to hear the echo at the National Museum of the American Indian. We had lunch in the Mitsitam Cafe. We watched a 13 minute film in the 120-seat circular Lelawi Theater titled “Who We Are” about contemporary Native life. We saw a mother duck with her four ducklings outside the museum. We walked through the outdoor garden and saw the entrance to the botanic garden (Virtual Cache).
We went to Senator Maria Cantwell’s office to take the guided tour of the Capitol. During the Capitol tour, I photographed two NGS Benchmarks: Center of Crypt – a 20 Point White Marble Star -- and Center of a Brass Grate located just north of the crypt. After the tour we walked to the Hart Bldg. where we saw Alexander Calder’s “Mountains and Clouds.” We walked south on 1st toward the Metro Station. I took a photo of the Library of Congress dome (NGS Benchmark). We counted the eyes at the Library of Congress building and then divided by two (Virtual Cache). We rode the Metro to Pentagon Station where we caught a bus.
