She knows Edith Wharton!

So, you know by now I like to drag my girls all over. That I've never met a museum I didn't like. Well this weekend finds us in Washington D.C. We started our trip at the amazing National Portrait Gallery. Eden scoots into a small gallery and after a few minutes bustles back out and says all excited," Mom! You know when we go to The Mount? And we learn about that lady who wrote all those books?" And I ask, "Edith Wharton?" And she shouts, "Yes! She's in here!" Sure enough, in the little gallery is a beautiful portrait of Edith Wharton as a young girl.

So the eight-hour drive is already worth it. Because she gets it. And she is absorbing it all. And I'm one proud Mama.
