8-11 Virginia

Today we left Chattanooga, TN, and the beautiful home of Marion & Tom Griscom, for Virginia. Driving up through the Blue Ridge Mountains was pretty spectacular (as evidenced by the photos below). We stayed at a Days Inn, and went to a local diner named "Hollywood's" near Roanoke. Pretty tasty Cajun Meatloaf...

8-13 WDC

We're staying with Tyson's childhood family friend and her husband (Jenn Barr Weiss & Adam Weiss) in Alexandria, and while they're at work, metro into DC for the day. We start at the newly remodeled National Portrait Gallery. Among the classics in American art history, there's a great show of work by Alec Soth....(see image above).

Then we head over to the Hirshhorn (where I interned so many years ago). Some interesting work, but honestly, the curating was not as good as back in 2001. And then, the Air & Space Museum to see some really big rockets. Here are some pix from along the way.

8-14 DC to Highland Park, NJ

Today, we wake up in Alexandria, get our things together, and hit the road for our new home in Highland Park. We pass through Philly on our way, and arrive around 5pm at 2 Woodbridge Av. Here we are in our new place ("camping" until the moving truck arrives).

So it begins...

Now that I'm one week old in New Jersey, I've decided it's time to start a digital journal to keep track of and share adventures and interesting tidbits. I will try to post images of the work I make while in graduate school, and post updates as frequently as I can. So check back for updates!
