New places

We had tickets to see Colbie Caillat at Wolf Trap Saturday night so we went down to DC a little early on Saturday to visit a new place that Jen had read about: Hillman Estate, Museum, and Gardens. We've never been there before. I didn't even know the place existed, but what great place to spend a few hours, especially on a warm, sunny day. It was the home of Marjorie Meriwether Post, heir to the Post fortune (now General Foods) and she used it to display all of the objects she collected over the years. It was her home and is now a museum.

We had a picnic dinner at Wolf Trap before the concert and really enjoyed seeing and hearing Colbie Caillat and Gavin DeGraw perform.

The next day we drove to the National Harbor just to see what was there and enjoyed wandering through some unique stores and had a great lunch at McLoone's.
