Cherry Blossoms!

Peak bloom of the DC Cherry Blossoms is easily one of the things I look forward to most each year, and it's seriously one of the reasons I'm so glad to live back in the DC area. I always get a bit of anxiety since the dates frequently change and there's always some kind of last-minute winter storm threatening, but then they always arrive and are just as glorious as ever! Visiting the blooms requires a bit of strategy considering how inundated the city gets with tourists, but Aaron and I made our way down on Friday morning before work and were so pleased to easily get a parking spot and enjoy a leisurely walk around the fully-blooming Tidal Basin. To make it even better, we ran into some old friends from our life as newlyweds in Capitol Hill! While we have a lot more flower opportunities this spring / summer (lavender! sunflowers!) I'll still be looking forward to seeing these again next year. See last year's post HERE.

Happy Spring!

It's that time of year where I seek out any and all flower opportunities, so I was thrilled to see these gorgeous blossoms on Instagram last week. I promptly asked the girl where I could find them and she was so kind to give me exact directions to the spot in Georgetown! Aaron and I both happened to have Good Friday off of work, meanwhile Hazel's daycare was open - WIN WIN! We decided to take ourselves on a day-date downtown for flowers and lunch at Little Pearl. Honestly, these were some of the most beautiful flowers I think I've EVER seen. They looked like a painting come to life and I seriously stood there in awe for several minutes (meanwhile frantically snapping pictures). The best part about it all is this is just the beginning! We're anticipating peak Cherry Blossom bloom on Friday, and DC is about to get more beautiful by the day. Happy Spring!
