Where will you go for Museum Day 2012?

It's that time of year again.   September 29th is the day that you and a guest can enjoy free admission to a participating museum.   Why?   Because Smithsonian magazine says you can!

Rejoice and follow this link for more information.   Here's an easy way to find a participating venue in your community.   Once you've chosen a destination, go here to tell the nice people who you are and have your free tickets e-mailed to your account.

Don't forget to check out the gift shops.   There's nothing better than some of the stuff and nonsense you can find there.   Ask any five year-old.

Please pass this information on to interested friends.

Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day!

If you are a lifelong learner, you'll love this.   On September 24th you and a guest may visit a museum for free!   That's right-- it's Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day.  

First, ask yourself where you will be that Saturday.   Then, follow the link to see which facilities are participating in your area.   There are 40+ museums listed in Virginia alone!  I'll bet there's something good in your neighborhood too.

If you need another excuse to visit D.C. aside from its amazing collections, September 24th falls during the National Book Festival weekend.  
Here's a link to remind yourself how amazing the lineup is this year
