Alison has such a memory

Ali and I went for an overnight surprise vacation trip to Washington D.C. She probably had more fun in the hotel (we had a horrid little room, but the place did have a pool, shuffleboard, and a very small golf putting green, plus fresh waffles for breakfast) than she did visiting the sights in D.C., but one thing that really was amazing to me: we had a brief visit to the National Art Gallery and they had a handout about "if you only have an hour, see these paintings" so I told Ali it was a treasure hunt. Before we even started to look, she decided she was too tired, so we sat down on a couch for a rest. Then she said, "oh, but I saw that one already." I didn't believe her but she showed me. Sure enough, in the next room was one of the paintings that had a mini-picture with some detail on our "treasure hunt" sheet.
