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.

Is it a fixed date every year? This year it's the 24th Sept. Never keep track since we are rather spoilt here with all Smithsonian museums being free! I have been to the two paid ones - Newseum and Spy Museum here. The Newseum was great - it's already crowded on regular days, can't imagine the crowds on a free day (I think they do participate)!

Do want to go visit the Intrepid Museum... someday!
