Hot Day

LOCAL NEWS TODAY:
"A potentially deadly combination of heat and humidity is upon us. We have not seen a combination of heat and humidity this intense in a number of years. Heat indices may near or exceed 110 degrees."

At 100*F by 10:30 a.m., it was WAY too hot for the park.  What to do?  : : : Go to a seriously grand, air-conditioned, playground! (er - museum)  This is one of those wonderful secrets of D.C. parenting.  And it's FREE.

up 4 flights of stairs. Wear this girl out.  These stairs are so cool - wide and flat and shallow.  Indented from over 100 years of use by people and even horses.

  2. Looks like fun!!! Do you have air conditioning? I was wondering that last week when I was hearing about the crazy weather. We've gotten the occasional 110, mostly we'll get a bit around 100 and it stays put, but we don't have anywhere NEAR the humidity that has been reported where you are! All our best beating the heat!!!
