Sculpture Garden, National Gallery of Art

The sculpture garden at the National Gallery of Art in Washington includes a beautiful restaurant and a skating rink, surrounded by wonderful, large works of sculpture. We had lunch there this afternoon. I've always enjoyed their selections of salads, sandwiches, and pastry.

Miriam and Alice rented some skates and then enjoyed two hours
on ice while we revisited the annual nature photo contest at the Natural History Museum.

Ten years ago, we visited the sculpture garden and skating rink with Miriam,
who was not yet a skater but hoped to learn sometime.

This morning we also visited the Hirshhorn Museum, which will figure in a later blog post.
