I’m a day late posting this Friday recap. I spent most of the day with Charlie and Laura in DC museums. I finally got to see the Panza collection in Hirshhorn museum. It was incredible. I’ll post some photos later. Fed Charlie the southern boy some authentic Chinese food for lunch in Chinatown, then made him Hotpot for dinner. What a good day.
