Gerry and I recently celebrated our 30 wedding anniversary in DC. The weather has been simply wonderful (even the rain) this summer and July 21st was no exception. We had lunch at long-time favorite restaurant, The Old Ebbitt Grill. Luscious oysters on the half shell, shrimp, and a crab cake entree.
Then, we visited the Renwick. Although there wasn't a new exhibit, it’s always nice to visit old art 'friends.'
From the Renwick we went to The American Art Museum to see "1934: A New Deal for Artists" and Jean Shinn's exhibit. Neither disappointed us. Shepard Fairey's 'HOPE' poster is on display and it is outstanding. I didn't realize the depth to the collage until seeing it in person.
After that, we were tired so walked to Resika for an early dinner. Without a reservation, we were lucky to score a small table near the bar. The reviews we had previously read were right on target. Ger described it, "Like having dinner in heaven." The food was that good.
