Smithsonian - Biking - Shopping - Basketball - Granddad ...

Random Saturday with no agenda.

1. Quick Trip to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.
Having awesome museums local is super fun since for 90 minutes everybody is way interested.
 
2. Shopping for used books.
RJ has been way into Tintin books for the past month. Since we finished our last one, we decided to go to used book store to find some more. Hole in the Wall Books was cool, and had a Tintin poster, but no books. eBay seems like a simpler (and probably cheaper) option.
 
3. Granddad and Tinker Crate
RJ got to build a cool hydraulic gripper with Granddad. No pics.
 
4. Julia and Dad go biking
Julia rode around Clemyjontri Park three times. She was quite nervous on the way from the basketball courts to the park and during the first loop. But after becoming familiar with the terrain, she was all-in until being stopped for dinner.
 
5. Basketball, Piano, Handball
Kids played basketball during the NCAA tourney games ... in the living room. Julia seems to be taking an interest in piano.
  Whew ... bedtime.

Skating and more skating

The day started with the last learn-to-play lesson ... which consisted of practice games.

After that, we traveled to Purcellville to roller skate with Logan at his birthday party. RJ got the hang of roller skating very quickly.
