Er..well..not exactly. However I did see his portrait in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. A few weekends ago I was supposed to go to Vermont to snowboard with my sisters, but the weather was calling for rain, freezing rain, and then cold and windy. Not good. So Friday night we decided not to go, and tried to figure out plan b.

Vanessa remembered reading about some art exhibit she wanted to see in one of the Smithsonian museums, so we decided to go. We left around 6:30 am on Saturday morning and drove over to Natalie’s friend’s apartment. From there we took the Metro to the museums. There was a really cool exhibit on hip-hop art, plus the one Vanessa wanted to see on color fields. Then finally we found Stephen Colbert.

Stephen was hanging out over a water fountain in the bathroom alcove near a presidential portrait exhibit. We at lunch at Chipotle, went to the National Art Museum. Then we hit up a bar for some afternoon drinking…it started hailing when we were 50 ft from the door.

Then it was back to the condo to rest. We had thai for dinner and then we came back and drank wine and played Rock Band. It was my first time…and I had to play drums since no one else could do it. I am also awesome (and modest) at guitar from playing lots of GH2/3.

Sunday morning we went to The Diner for brunch. Yay for mimosas and Eggs Chesapeake. Then we did a little shopping before heading home.

We ended up stopping in Cherry Hill so that Natalie could check out a bike she saw on craigslist. And since we were there we got early dinner at a sushi place down there that Vanessa loves. It’s called Oh Yoko and it was fabulous. If you like sushi definitely check it out.
