Crowdsurfing & Smithsonian's new museum!

[smittenbyu]

While I am procrastinating and joining another friendzy over here, I was watching Late Show with Stephen Colbert and I somehow cried in awe seeing Congressman John Lewis crowdsurf!!!! A warm welcome to the new friends.

And in a few weeks, Smithsonian opens its very new National Museum of African American History & Culture!! N tried very hard to get tickets to go see it! And the earliest we could get timed tickets was in November! They are opening on Sept 24th - which is also the day many museums nationwide are offering free entry! We might go for the festival held outdoors - but with D it might just get too crazy to go!

Meanwhile, Trump said, "We are the big bully that keep getting beat up!" *deep breaths*

Ooh, free museum day. I went to Intrepid Museum in New York many years ago on free museum day many years ago and loved it, but I always forget when the date it.

I didn't even know they were opening a new one. I haven't been there in decades, not even to see the Native American museum (which in theory has my name on a plaque somewhere with all the other original donors. Somewhere real tiny I'm sure given the size of the donation)
