Nightime Trip to DC


A few months ago I had a brainstorm...
I thought it would be neat to take the train (my husband's job enables us to do so for free)
 to Washington DC during the Cherry Blossom Fesitival and see the fireworks.
So, Saturday, we did it!

We caught the train close to 5 pm, when we got there it was around 6:30, and we had several
blocks to walk to get to the waterfront.
(It was maybe about 10 blocks--but it felt like 100!) lol
We (of course) snapped random pics along the way--here are some of mine and Brad's
 (Bri didn't download hers yet)


(this is not photo shopped-the light was just gorgeous!)





When we got down to the waterfront, it was fun to see these boats all decorated!




Taking pictures in the reflecting pool was so neat!
We didn't get home until midnight, but,
it was such a fun treat--and, I am so thankful to God for good health that day!
I haven't been feeling well at all, but did really well that day!
The days of my two young adults both being home are flying by...
What a nice memory for us all to carry with us now :)

Another DC trip...

                                 We had the opportunity to go to Washington DC again this Spring...
                                                   Thought I'd post some pics from our trip
Phil and Bri on the train....
I don't know how she does it...but Bri can take great pics from the moving train!
Brad smiles from in front of her...

The train station is gorgeous!

Lots of stuff going on outside the station...


To Daddy's delight...we left the station :) and moved on...

There are cherry blossoms everywhere--so gorgeous!






Lotsa people too...

There were lovely spring flowers in bloom everywhere too!






This little fella was singing for us...
Here's Bri and I on the Metro
We rode the metro from the Tidal Basin to the US Botanic Garden
(I'll save those pics for another post)

Random shots...
(Brad taking a photo for a couple--we did lots of that)
(Don't these things look like fun!?)
I'll continue in another post so I don't overwhelm you with pictures! :)
