    ‘ I am not typically a big art person.  This is mainly due to the fact that I love to be outside, especially when on vacation, so I don’t find myself frequenting museums often.  While researching Washington, D.C.-area attractions prior to my trip to the East Coast last September, though, I came across some information…
