DC in the Springtime!

No, I'm not crazy...I know it's not springtime yet - the high tomorrow is only 38, so we're far from it.  But, I've extended my contract and will be here until the beginning of June!  That means I get to experience the Cherry Blossom Festival, visit the National Zoo, weekend trips to the Deleware beach and Baltimore...plus more time for friends and family to come visit me!!!

More to come...Elizabeth visited this weekend and I'll post about our adventures!

Heat Wave

DC was blessed with a warm front today - a whopping 50 degrees!!  So, I took advantage of the beautiful weather and set off on foot to explore some more.

I walked across the Key Bridge from Rosslyn into Georgetown and window shopped along M Street.  From there I walked right down to the Memorials and Monuments - Washington, WWII, Korean, Vietnam and Lincoln.  (The WWII Memorial and Korean Memorial were new to me - last time I was in DC was in the 8th grade.)  I loved being able to wander alone among these amazing memorials.  I went at my own pace, snapped pictures when I felt like it, and was able to honor the men and women that are honored in these places.  What a great day!  Enjoy the pics:

ps....I saw Slumdog Millionaire yesterday...and LOVED it - Fabulous!!  I highly recommend it to all!
