Okay it was 10:00am and I was so tired. We'd talked about going down to D.C. to see the cherry blossoms since this was our last chance. We'd talk, talk, talked about it but we hadn't really decided. It was the moment of truth...we had to decide. Was it worth getting ready, 2hrs there and 2hrs back (with a baby who doesn't sleep in the car), and gas money? Well we took one look at these kiddos and decided they were happy enough. I took one look at myself...but I won't post that picture (I'd stayed up until 1am), and decided I was up for it. And Jeff said I could decide. So we were off! I called Tara right before we left and she was gung-ho and met us down there. This made it all worth it! We had so much fun. This is a must do for everyone before they die. 
The weather was to die for perfect. I love the Washington Memorial in the background.
Talk about beautiful!
Matthew and Owen hit it off better than our last visit.

Jeff assured me he had promied Owen a ride in a boat real soon so they decided to try out the paddle boats in tidal basin. Hannah and I stayed ashore because she didn't meet the weight requirement. 
Jeff took a picture of us from the boat.
We couldn't believe the "popcorn trees." It was so so beautiful. And we had fun that evening at the Olsons. We're going to miss them!

Wow! Those are great pictures. Those blossoms are beautiful. It really looks like spring there. When you have a home will you plant a bunch of flowering trees? I like them a lot.
Nice photos. I'd like to see those blossoms someday. How come Hannah doesn't sleep in the car? Is it because Owen is always pinching her?
Wow that looks so awesome! I wish I could have come. I just remember last year when I was out we were driving home from Walmart or something and Owen looked out the window and said "look mom it's popcorn!" It was so cute! I love spring time.
That looked way fun! I would be jelous, but we are amidst orange blossoms here in cali on spring break so I can't complain! It smells so good where we are! As we were driving here we rolled the windows down and just smelled!
I'm really glad you got to see that. It will remain in your blood--part of "Potomac Fever" and you'll want to go back! It's really sad to see those pictures and realize the blossoms were snowed on last night. Oh well, they'll be there again next year!
Someday I'm going to see those blossoms in D.C. I am so happy that you are able to go and be there. Our country is amazing, and so is God's plan for us.
