good times in chinatown.

last saturday, jeffrey and i ventured to chinatown in dc and had a lovely little afternoon and evening.  we started at the american art museum and saw the norman rockwell exhibit, which i found quite delightful.  i enjoyed seeing rockwell's iconic paintings as he depicted american history.  if you are in dc, the exhibit is on display until january 2, 2011.   the courtyard between the american art museum and portrait gallery is absolutely stunning - i love how they connected these two old buildings with something so modern.  (pictured below)

   
next, jeffrey and I walked across the street to the movies.  i ADORE going to the movies by the way - it is one of my favorite pastimes.  we saw SALT with andelina jolie.  it was a good shoot em' up bang bang movie....i would easily see it again.  

finally, we ate at ping pong dim sum - a super fun, trendy and modern place that serves dim sum galore.  they have really great cocktails too!
