A Day in D.C.

On Tuesday the weather forecast was promising, so we all went (except Tim) to D.C. to the cherry blossom festival. It was an absolutely PERFECT day--82* and sunny! The blossoms were gorgeous, and we all had a great time... til the ride home! I'll expound later.

Nate and I standing by the Basin, with cherry blossoms behind us.

The Washington Monument. The gray-looking stuff below the trees is TONS of cherry blossoms. It was so pretty. They hang over the walkway, and when the wind blows, hundreds of petals float away.


This is where we stopped for a picnic lunch (notice the W. Monument in the background.). Too bad we had shadows all over our faces--it would have made a really nice photo!


Livvie's first ride in the backpack. She loved it!


We breezed through the Holocaust Museum (and I do mean breezed! We did it in an hour.). Unbelievable. I could have spent an entire day in there.

Beautiful Pictures! We get to go in June, and I'm so excited! I love DC, and Michael's never been. It will be interesting with a 10 month old :-) You'll have to give me some hints!!

Wow, looks like you guys are seeing a ton in a short amount of time! The weather looks to be cooperating for your vacation too. It's so nice to see people in short sleeve shirts and with sunglasses on. :) That cherry blossom tree picture is beautiful of you two!
