I recently took a trip to the Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden and snapped a few pics. The famous Burghers of Calais by Rodin is located here as well as many other interesting pieces. 

Springfield Churches close to Washington DC Welcome Newcomers

The Springfield area is close to Washington DC and offers satisfying suburban lifestyles. The close proximity to these transient areas means the people are always coming and going. As such many of the local churches are very welcoming to newcomers and some even offer welcoming gifts. My mother received this welcoming Soup in a Jar after relocating here from Illinois. Check out these churches websites and their welcoming pages.
