We visited the National Gallery this morning. We considered going to the Phillips Collection, where there is a special exhibition on Van Gogh, but decided on our perennial favorites: 17th century Dutch art and French impressionists.

We prepared Nora by reading her "Nijntje in het museum" and in the car she was talking about "papa Pluis en mama Pluis". It was fun showing her the paintings and statues.

We had lunch in the restaurant in the museum and went home at 2.00 pm, for Nora's nap. In the evening she said "Van Gogh".
