Now That's a Modern House!

Jan 26 2012

Kreeger_house

If you are into modern architecture, this is really one of the true hidden gems of Washington, DC.

The Kreeger Museum was previously the Kreeger house -- the residence of David and Carmen Kreeger.  He was the chairman of GEICO, and surely one of the most interesting insurance executives ever, who took true pleasure in so many of the arts.

The house itself is a work of art, designed by noted architect Philip Johnson, and is filled with works by Picasso and Monet, and many others.

You have to look for it, as it is tucked away in a residential neighborhood, but it's definitely worth the trip!

More info can be found here: kreegermuseum.org

If you are looking for something to do today, try Christmas shopping in Occoquan.  This lovely riverside village is just a few minutes from Alexandria or DC, and is all decked out for the holidays.

Lots of cute shops -- one of our favorites is Elements, which has a wide selection of jewelry and unique gifts.  Lunch at the Garden Kitchen includes a special that includes your choice of pie.  (As always, please tell "Mrs. Greg" that I had the "salad." )

If you go, please come see m at 102 East Colonial Drive, just off Occoquan Road.  This is a lovely townhouse with garage, convenient to everything.  I will be there from 1 to 4pm today (Sunday Dec 4th).  Hope to see you there!

..Benefits DC Area Charities!  If you missed Gingertown, a very cool display of a Gingerbread Las Vegas at Washington Square, you definitely missed a holiday treat. 

But you will be pleased to know that the various components of the display have been delivered to a number of Washington-area charities for their holiday enjoyment, including SOME (So Others Might Eat), Martha's Table and the Children's National Medical Center.

Read more about the project here: www.Gingertown.org.

I can't wait to see what they do next year!
