Washington, DC (USA)

[Mollie slept late - after we ate breakfast, Mollie made cookies and did homework - we ate lunch at my apartment and then (1230) we drove into DC to visit the Botanical Garden and National Gallery of Art - a highlight was sketching, copying still life) - the weather was great and we had some great conversations throughout the day - we left the city around 1415 and, after using the George Washington Parkway to get to Alexandria, we ate some ice cream at Slater's Market (1435) - after that, we went on a nature walk at the Dyke Marsh Wildlife Habitat - we still had some time left together, so we decided to go to Fort Belvoir and explore the PX - we also visited Wegmans - I dropped Mollie off at her mom's house at 1700]
