National Arboretum

We took Riise to the National Arboretum over the weekend.... and it was hot. Baking hot. We still powered through the bonsai exhibits. The dog, not allowed in the with the bonsais, waited out front with Will.


We wondered around looking for trees that have been in training since our birth years. I about cried when Riise pipes up: "I was born in 1990." What? I was in high school. Man, I felt instantly old. Maybe not as old as some of the trees, but close.

We decided not to walk to the columns that originally were on one of the wings of the Capitol Building. From a distance, they were prettier, and we had more important things to do.

Like find the pup some water....
