My Magic Time Machine: Museum Edition

My Peep reminded me that that we wrote a blog a while back and never posted it. Why? We had so much other stuff going on, like taking part in National Donut Day, that it slipped our collective minds.

So, we're going to post our museum blog today, but first this . . .

Yes, that's me with amazing author/illustrator/MC Jarrett Krosoczka. The interview is this Wednesday, June 6th, at 5:30 pm EST. You can tune into Sirius XM channel 78 and listen to The Book Report with JJK airs during The Absolutely Mindy Show on Kids Place Live!

Here's Jarrett when he's not drawing or writing or interviewing authors . . .

Hey, if you're in the Los Angeles area on Thursday, June 7th, I'll be at Skylight Books reading Truman Capote as part of AND PROUD OF IT: In celebration of LGBT Heritage. It's gathering of straight and gay Los Angeles writers reading the work of Gay and Lesbian authors who inspired them.

Okay, and now . . . through the magic of my ATM (Amazing Time Machine), we're back in Washington, DC. The day before the National Book Festival, to be exact.

We had some free time, so went exploring . . .

Hey, what's that building over there? Why it's part of the Smithsonian and called the Renwick Gallery . . .

Why, let's go inside, shall we?

The last time we were here, I got too close to this and accidentally set off the alarm. (I was pointing to some of the toys.)

We were much more careful this time, especially since there were warning signs everywhere . . .

However, we can't say the same about our friend Lauren Myracle ...
