And I mean, I grew up moving around a lot, and my parents were always taking us sightseeing, so there was a period where I lived right outside of Washington D.C. and I really liked the Smithsonian. They were all free, and there's an art museum, there was the museum of space or whatever, and I think it's just The Smithsonian Museum of American Art or something, but really cool. They actually have the body of Cher Amie really stuffed on display there. And so I went to see that. But it's right next to this, or it used to be right next to this exact replica of Julia Childs' kitchen, so I really like The Smithsonian.
