Thank you for this. I grew up in Fairfax, and my dad worked in DC. I was lucky enough to call the Smithsonian my "babysitter" for years. I spent hours(probably years) wandering through all the museums. It taught me so much about science and art and history. I was able to bring my husband and my 11 yo for their first visit 2 years ago. We can't wait to come back. This is great to have at our fingertips until we can get back. They didn't want to leave Air and Space :)

Have you done any of Julia's kitchen yet? Dorothy's shoes? Thanks again from a grown-up who was blessed to grow up looking at these wonderful things, I'm glad the rest of the world gets to see some of the cool stuff.

Berries make sense, we have blackberry and raspberry growing everywhere. I just want to try an egg once, they look so yummy when the chef's on tv use them. No one else in my house eats eggs. We have foxes and coyotes that live around us and I worry about one of them finding the quails too, but I guess that's just nature for you! If you are ever in Southwest Va, shoot me a PM and we can go quail spotting on the farm :) Thanks!!

We have bobwhites in our back yard. I hear them all the time. We live in the middle of no where with rural farm land all around us. What can we do help them "stay safe" in the wild? We have avoided even weed eating the yard near where we think they are for fear of scaring them off. I have to threaten my husband over them. He wants to eat them....I just want to find the nest so I can steal an egg or two.
