Cherry Blossoms

Two posts in less than a month might be a new record for 2013!  Actually, I think this is the second post I've done in ALL of 2013... all well, dc cherry blossoms are just too hard to ignore. :)  They've had all of us patiently (or maybe not so patiently) waiting for them to bloom for at least the past 3 weeks, and so you better believe we were going to get our fannies out to see the peak blooms when they hit yesterday.  For examples sake, last year they bloomed in mid March, and we've had three weeks of "cherry blossom" festivities happening all over the city... so these babies are tardy!  The sheer number of people here to see them along the tidal basin is overwhelming, but the site is truly breathtaking, and well worth pushing your way through the crowds.  Apparently, due to the big warm up this week (it's supposed to get up to 90 today?!), we may only have our dear blossoms in all their glory for another couple days, but in my opinion, I think that might have made them all the more magical.  xoxo

Happy Easter!  It's a gorgeous 60 degree weekend here in dc, and we've all been itchin' to get out and enjoy a little warmth and sunshine... I mean, it snowed on Monday.  What?  It's also cherry blossom season, (no pretties yet - hopefully in the next weekend or two!), but that still means we've got tourists a plenty invading the district.  In order to *somewhat* avoid the rush, we decided to get out early for a little stroll around the Lincoln Memorial to enjoy this gorgeous Saturday.  The real camera hasn't been dusted off in ages (blast that iphone...), so apologies in advance for the Emily, Jonathan, and Jude heavy picture post.

Jude loves watching all the pond ducks {they don't love him quite as much}
Jonathan might kill me for including this next one... but I'm sorry, he just looks so stinkin' handsome and it's my blog so.... ;)
WWII Memorial
Washington & Lincoln Memorials + tourists, but still so beautiful.
Happy Easter everyone!
