Toronto to Washington

I'm headed to Washington, D.C. today.

This is my first trip to "the most powerful place on Earth", as D.C is described by my edition of the Rough Guide.  I have always wanted to go to Washington, see the monuments, visit the Smithsonian, hang out with Michelle and Barack and the girls but I don't expect to have much time to explore the city this trip.  But I'm not too worried, as I will be returning there in about 6 weeks time for a longer stay and hope to see some of the touristy stuff then.  Plus I don't expect the cherry blossoms will be in bloom just yet and I'm told that is certainly something to see!

This time, I'm going to take 3 days of metalsmithing classes with my dear friend Heather and none other than Stephanie Lee, author of Semiprecious Salvage - Creating Found Art Jewelry. 

The workshops have been organized by ArtBLISS Workshops.  I believe this is their 2nd event, the first one was held last year.

Stay tuned for tales of our adventures...
