DC: National Art Gallery

The next day we went to the National Gallery of Art. We were originally going to go to the Smithsonian Museum of American History. Unfortunately it was closed for renovation. I was sad. So then we headed off to the National Gallery of Art. I must confess, I'm not much of an art aficionado, but the gallery left me in awe. Whose your favorite impressionist? Ohh him, yeah they've got like 8 of those between the Renior's and the Monet's.

Here are a few highlights.
