Pulitzer Prize winning photos at the Newseum

The students of SPS and I went to the Newseum this morning. Among the numerous educational and informative exhibits was one on Pulitzer Prize winning photos. The photos were often accompanied by stories and/or interviews about the photo, the photographer, how they got the shot, etc.

The were many others but these happen to catch my eye today.

Memorial Day in Arlington National Cemetery.

Class, Bike Rides, Food Trucks, and a nap

Started the morning out by leading a discussion over the article, "The Unpopular Mandate" by Ezra Klein. The just of the article is that there are many positions that politicians flip flop over to suits their needs. Great discussion. Like to article here

After that I hit the road for a long bike ride through the Rock Creek Trails and then the national mall. I eventually met up with some folks at Franklin Square for some food truck lunch. It was a beautiful day so it was quite crowded (I took this pic after we had lunch).

I had a shrimp po' boy from the Bayou Bros. Truck. Not bad at all. A big sammy and a drink for $11. a decent price by DC standards.

The bike ride home was 3 x as difficult but enjoyable none the less. St. Albans School is in the NW of DC and owes the fantastic views of the city to the fact that it's one of the highest points of the city. That's great for views but bad for fat guys riding their bike, namely me.

It's now nap time.
