On Saturday and Sunday, readers and other bookish types flocked downtown for the National Book Festival. Though I didn’t spend as much time there as in the past, we dodged some raindrops and heard a few authors speak in between playing tourist at other famous sites — like the White House.

Wow- Looks like a great time. I have always wanted to go to this. I love the Let’s Read America sign!
I hope to make it to the National Book Festival one of these years! Your pictures are lovely, as always.
Looks like a great day at the festival! Excellent captures.
Wonderful shots! I would love to attend this event one day.
I went to the NBF on Sunday, only to discover that the Pavillion of the States, my favorite part, was only on Saturday….
How cool. I love the second image.
Great photos. I would love to go one year.
I love the third shot best. Good to see the natioal monument in the background.
Gorgeous — the sky in particular looks very dramatic. I’m envious of your day!
It seems totally right that there is a literary festival right there in the middle of the capitol. I’d love to attend one day, maybe in six or seven years when I can come and go as I please!
Beautiful pictures – I especially like the one of the White House. I’m always too far away to attend the NBF, but luckily Boston has a book festival of its own in a few weeks.
Great shots Meg, I love the tones! Plus I’ve always wanted to see the White House, hopefully I’ll get to one day!
Love the photos! Looks like fun!
Seems like a real cool event! It’s inspired me to see if they have anything like that coming up in NY.
not the best weather this year..but it looks like great fun. maybe next year…
I missed you this year — but looking at the mud perhaps I made the right decision to stay home.
Missed you, too, but it was very gross out! It rained really hard the night before and everything was saturated. By the afternoon it was crazy humid and gross, and everything was crowded. Ack!
I would love to attend some time. I would not enjoy rain and mess, but hope you had fun anyway!!
Great shots! Looks like a lot of fun!
Thanks for stopping by KreativeKaring for wordless wednesday, I hope you have a great day!
