Washington DC Trip: Cherry Blossoms(?), Museums, and Monuments

On our only full day in DC, we spent most of the day at the Mall. We walked over to the Tidal Basin to see where the bulk of the cherry blossoms were supposed to be. :) I did get a picture of a couple blossoms! Cohen loved seeing the monuments on our way to the museums.

We decided to go to the National Air and Space Museum and the Museum of Natural History. Since the dinosaur exhibit was closed at the Museum of Natural History (sad day for Cohen) we didn't spend much time there. Cohen did love the fish tank that had Nemo, Marlin, and Dory in it. We had time so we walked to the Museum of American History, so I can see the First Lady exhibit :)

 

We then headed back to the hotel for a little rest before going to Central for dinner. It was a quick trip, but it was really fantastic. I'm so grateful we live so close so we can pop down every once in a while.

Hellooooo Lincoln!

Jeff and I took a little road trip to DC to see Kari play with the Clark College concert band. I haven't been to DC since the 8th grade, so it was kind of fun going back for a little visit. Kari played in front of the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday morning. It was fun seeing Kari play and chatting with her. After we visited with Kari for a little while we went out to lunch and then did a little shopping at my favorite store....Tiffany's! I bought some really cute pearl earrings. It was a successful trip :)


Next I'm off to Washington for a visit with the family! I'm so excited for the long break.
