ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful and so very interesting!
ReplyDeleteJefferson's Monticello is so awesome!(I know it is not in DC but you made me think of it.) He really did have quite the energetic mind. His bed was in the wall so he could roll over into his room or roll over into his office. http://www.monticello.org/site/research-and-collections/alcove-bed

ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any tulips here yet...hopefully soon!
