Work Work Work Work Work

I'm sure that song has been stuck in my head for the past couple of weeks because life has been a bit work crazy...long days, travel, and lots and lots of meetings. I'm still behind on everything I need to get done!

This week I was in Washington DC Monday and Tuesday. The highlight was listening to Twitter founder and currently CEO of Square (fintech firm) Jack Dorsey speak about his childhood (as a child of two entrepreneurs growing up in St.Louis) and his vision of technology helping people empower, educate, connect.

This is what I was wearing on the first conference day. The jacket is faux suede and the skirt is lace.
A perfect non-creasing outfit for a day of plane travel and long sessions in conference rooms:-)

Renwick Gallery

I promise this is my last post from the Washington DC trip. That town is art lover's delight. There are so many museums full of gorgeous art, and they are all free. This time we visited the Renwick Gallery which houses American crafts and decorative arts. It's located very close to the White House and it is smaller than most other Washington museums / galleries, so it was easy to take a quick peek without boring the kids too much.

When in Washington, you go see the White House...

...like everyone else...

and you pose for pictures!

Lots of pictures

awwww

It's quite a bit smaller than you'd imagine

See the Secret Service guys up on the roof

The 5-year old asked: How does President Obama get out of the cage? Smart observation, no?

Washington DC

Our spring break trip destination was Washington DC. It's a convenient city to visit because most everything that you'd want to see is a short walking distance away. I've been there many times, usually for work, and a couple times to sight see too, but I've never been in the cherry blossom season and I couldn't believe how packed with tourists it was. However, because the spring is so late this year, the Cherrytrees were not blossoming yet... We managed to see one tiny blossom! The white house was prepping for the egg hunt and we enjoyed the warmest day of the year yet.

The paparazzi is everywhere!
