Awesome and overlooked day trip 4/29/2010

Imagine this: a mansion, brilliant garden, cafe, stories of intrigue - and a museum that hosts the largest collection of Russian imperial art outside of St. Petersburg. Yuh huh. Hillwood is probably the most overlooked museum in the area. It is privately owned (by the Post - cereal - family) and worth the price of the admission ticket. I know, Washingtonians (""Waaaaa - we are used to going to museums for free"") - but, every now and then, we need to pay for stuff. It is especially gorgeous this time of year. My favorite is still Dumbarton Oaks - but Hillwood is a close second. Pros: Perfect for a sunny summer day Cons: Ticket required but oh well more
