Tuesday Ten

This week, I think I'll talk about some places I'd like to visit!

1. Ireland - always wanted to go, never been. I like the accents of the people. Also, the country almost calls to me to visit. Funny, I know.
   
2. England - visited once. London. But I want to see the rest of the country, something other than immediately around the airport or where you can go in a day.
   
3. The rest of the US I havent been to - I've been to 27 states and want to visit the remaining 23. It's been a goal to visit as many of the states as possible
   
4. Canada - Like England, I want to see more than Niagara Falls. I also know quite a few people from there and they've inspired me to visit the country
   
5. Greece - was there once for a month, and fell in love with the country and people and would love to go back and visit.
   
6. Scotland - when in England, I'll pop over to Scotland and visit. Beautiful country, bla, bla bla...
   
7. Iceland - seems like an out of way place to relax and recenter oneself
   
8. The Beach - only b/c i havent been in AGES! and i miss it *sad face*
   
9. Iowa. Went to college there and have good friends there. Another out of the way place to recenter. But b/c it's a small town and i sort of know alot of people there, i dont know how centered i can get....
10. As many yarn shops as possible - this is a secret addiction of mine, yarn....mmmmmm
    

A Boy and His Frog....

I was listening to public radio earlier this afternoon, and low and behold, one of their programs had a segment about Jim Henson! (Good thing I wasn't driving at the moment).

They were highlighting a installment from the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition that was all about Jim Henson's career and memorabilia. Its a traveling exhibition called Jim Henson's Fantastic World. I am a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE Muppet/Jim Henson fan (heck I even made a Cookie Monster Hat!). It's actually a touring exhibition, which is just as neat.

What makes it a little more unique, at least for me, is that it's in one of the neater museums here in DC. It's underground! YES! Underground. I've only been there once before when friends were visiting, but it's pretty impressive that you go underground to this particular museum. Here is a picture of the entrance to the place. I think I saw one of Liberace's pianos there. It's not a noticeable building entrance, at least not to me. Something, I think, most tourists would pass on by (unless they're there specifically for one of the exhibits).

I'm SO excited about seeing this exhibit.


So here's a little something to go out on:
