As I blogged about earlier … (and as The Express picked up):
Probably doesn’t hurt that today was cloudy, gray, and rainy, but the National Mall was pretty empty. As evidenced by the above photo, the rotunda at the National Museum of Natural History was considerably less crowded than usual.
I’d passed the word around the Office that the Mall would be quiet the Sunday after Thanksgiving, and a few people seemed receptive to coming down, but there was no one else at the designated meeting point at noon. I wandered around Natural History for awhile, and then made my way over to the Smithsonian Castle and snapped some photos. About that time, I wanted to get back to my heated apartment to spend the rest of the day (I’m watching Thirteen Days as I write this).
