Rain Room

Yesterday we waited in another long line to see the Rain Room at the MoMA. It's a temporary exhibit where cameras are used to detect people's locations and turn off the sprinkler valves above them. You can walk around in the rain but not get wet.

The Comedy of Errors was very entertaining the night before. 

I'm going to try to see Sarah's son tonight or tomorrow. Then we are going to the wedding tomorrow evening. 

Mount Vernon Hotel

Yesterday we went on a tour of this Federal Period hotel/ home. It's located on E 61st between First and York Avenues. When it was built in the late-eighteenth century, the city only extended up to 14th street. It is administered by the same group as the house I worked at in D.C.

The last picture was taken at the Carl Schurz Park. 

Right now we are waiting in line for Shakespeare in the park tickets. We have been here for more than four hours and have another hour to go.

Monsters University, Here We Come

Katherine has her photo ID and she's ready for class!

August in Washington, D.C.

Here are a few pictures from my visit to Laura during my break. We had a nice time. Laura got us tickets to a free performance of Twelfth Night. The production value was very high and the acting was thoroughly funny. We also went to Arlington Cemetery on a very hot day ...

... and to visit Ford's Theater.

Lazy Sunday

Hi Everyone! This weekend, I got Mom and Dad to go to free yoga at Barton Springs Pool and then go for a swim. I went to see Wicked with a Laura, Mary Lou, and Marie. Then we had chicken and brisket that Dad smoked with some neighbors and friends. It continues to be too hot here in Austin.

Today, we stopped by Marie's birthday party at an art studio. They decorated mirrors with big wooden frames. Some were prettier than others. The studio was nice, I would like to go back myself and create mosaics on something for the kitchen or garden.

Tomorrow, Claire starts her sophomore year of high school. Dad will be in Memphis for the week, so you can call him in the evenings, when he might be bored. Laura is in Austin until August 28.
