Nick applied to a bunch of colleges and, of course, all of them wanted him to pick them.  So he set off on a tour which brought him to DC to visit Towson.  Marie brought him here and his sisters, Tara and Dana, came along to hang out with the baby.  While Marie and Nick were off doing serious stuff, Tara, Dana, Frank, Nico and I went to museums.  We visited the Freer Gallery, ate lunch at a cafe in the Sculpture Garden, and then wandered around in the National Gallery.  That night, as is becoming our tradition, we played Pictionary.  Nico seemed to always be on the winning team. 

You can see photos from their visit here.  The magnolias were in full bloom at the garden behind the Smithsonian Castle.
