In April, I ventured into Washington, D.C. on both Saturday the 27 and Sunday the 28. I visited four different “museums” on my own and with friends. Here are my adventures! Saturday I took the Huntington Metro into DC. It’s not my normal line, but they were doing track work on the blue line, so…

So I’m going to bend my own rules a little and link to my writeup of BrickFair 2010, the “unofficial” LEGO Convention in Northern Virginia.
