Since we found out we will be moving to Australia, Jason and I decided to make it a point to soak up as much DC culture as possible in our last few months here. There are many things we have taken for granted. One of the things we love most about DC is the plethora of quality museums. So, on Sunday we went to the Botanical Garden and the Hirshhorn Museum, both of which were inspiring and refreshing. Here are a few highlights from the day: Go here for more if interested: http://hirshhorn.si.edu/ and http://www.usbg.gov/ Though I've never met a plant I didn't like, my absolute favorites from the Botanical Garden were the orchids and the desert plants. Oh, and the ferns. My favorites from the Hirshhorn were definitely Ron Mueck's "Untitled (Big Man)" from the Strange Bodies exhibit (seen in slide show) and "Der Lauf Der Dinge" (The Way Things Go) by Fischli and Weiss. Here is an excerpt from the 31 minute film:
