Shopping in VA and the National Museum of American History

Hillary's and Laura's gowns
Civil War Cannon
I started my day with a great breakfast with Angela, Joyce (her mom), and Carrac (her 14 year old cousin). There is the cutest store in Fredericksburg, VA, The Cats Closet.  It is filled with clothing, toys, cups, pictures, notepads, socks, cat treats and much more and is all cat related in design. If you continue 2 blocks away you arrive at Dog Krazy and find pretty much everything you need if you are a dog lover. It was such fun and the quaintness of the old town area is wonderful. Angela brought me back to DC and dropped me off at the Museum of American History where I met up with Carolyn.  We had a whirlwind tour of our must-sees, The First Lady Inaugural Gowns, Dorthy's Ruby Slippers, Archie Bunker's Chair, Julia Child's Kitchen.  Feeling a little shallow, we toured the Civil War display for good measure.  Then on to dinner at a restaurant near our hotel called Asian Spice.  The restaurant was noted as Best in DC for 2010 and we concur, food was great and our Pear Saketini was to die for.
