D.C.

Mr. Awesome himself. The original Kermit the Frog.

Today a friend and I ventured into D.C. for one of my classes. We braved the packed metro and hit 3 museums in one day. The mission: Find 3 'Great Ideas in Science' in 3 museums in one day.

Kermit wasn't quite a great idea in 'science' I guess...but to be a frog and internationally know is pretty fantastic. Needless to say, I was distracted being in the vicinity of a world renown frog.

Of course I also took time to appreciate how awesome and historic D.C. is in more than just being the home of the greatest muppet ever known, I saw many exhibits and found my 3 ideas. We went to the National Book Festival for a few and then of course got lunch at a random hot dog stand like true tourists. 

Sitting on the mall, admiring the Washington Monument I gracefully dropped my hot dog in the dirt throwing my camera to get it as soon as possible. I am now part Washington D.C...I have consumed some of its historic soil.
