National Book Festival

Well, I found a few photos to upload.  A couple weeks ago we went to the National Book Festival on the National Mall.  We got to meet Martha (a dog who talks from her books series and "Martha Speaks" cartoon on PBS.)  I got to meet Sonia Manzano, who plays Maria on Sesame Street.  She wrote a semi-autobiographical novel about growing up in Spanish Harlem.  There were lots of tents with authors reading from their books and fielding questions.

Then we walked along the reflecting pool to the Lincoln Memorial.  Ariel climbed all the steps with Jeff!
