Jeff has been teaching a Sunday School class over the summer, and I often play and sing with the worship team... Then two weeks ago on Saturday night when we realized Jeff's teaching stint was over and I didn't have any worship team obligations for the next day, we decided to go into DC on Sunday. For a while we've been wanting to visit Capitol Hill Baptist Church (where Mark Dever is the pastor) which, appropriately, is blocks away from the Capitol Building... So we visited there, and I must say, it's always a good thing to experience a different style of worship. I was looking forward to hearing Mark Dever speak, but sadly he wasn't even there that day. CHBC is tame and traditional, but real nonetheless. And it provided meat for some interesting conversation between Jeff and me over our Quizno's lunch. :)
After lunch we visited the National Air & Space Museum, which is always of interest to me and of special interest to Jeff since he's worked on satellites and rockets in the past. He likes to show me all the stuff he knows about it all, and I love to hear how knowledgeable and intelligent my husband is. :)
What do you think - would I have made a good stewardess in the 50s? Hm. My hair isn't too short or styled...
It was a hot day, so we rested for a while by a pool and fountain which was situated among the Smithsonian buildings.
Then we visited the National Gallery of Art. At first I was a little hesitant because I'm not a huge art museum fan... But I have to say I loved our time there; it was peaceful and beautiful.
Here is just a small sampling of the many paintings we enjoyed.
One of my favorites was this beautiful Andrew Wyeth painting. I love his works. (He's the one who did Christina's World.)
Good memories. :)
