I was on the radio on Saturday night, broadcast around the nation, listened to by millions of people. Well, to be accurate, I was one of many. I went to hear Garrison Keillor and A Prairie Home Companion, live from Wolf Trap National Park. Wolf Trap is an outdoor theater, and it was a perfect night to sit out on the lawn. It was sunny, breezy, mid-80's. The lawn was packed with families and couples and friends and all kinds of people of all ages. People brought picnic baskets and ate dinner while waiting for the show to start. The show is even better in person than on the radio. If you ever get the chance to see it live, I recommend it!
On Friday night, I spent a Night at the Museum. Sort of. I went to Mount Vernon, which is George Washington's estate. When I retire with my billions, I'm going to buy one just like it (but in a state that makes sense). Mount Vernon usually closes to visitors at 5 pm, but this weekend, it was open from 6-9pm, so it was a Night at Mount Vernon. In the museum, real people stood in among he displays and "came to life" as tours went through. Mount Vernon is a stunning estate during the day, but it is truly lovely at twilight, with the walkways lit by lanterns.
My last exploration of the weekend was learning to cook a new dish. I learned to make onigiri, which is Japanese rice balls. Mine are a little uneven, but they taste ok!
