DC Trip

Jakes and I went to DC to see the Cherry Blossoms.  Unfortunately, we didn't get there in time.  Our schedule just didn't match up to get there.  BUT there is SO much good stuff to see in DC that it wasn't a wasted trip.

I had signed up with SpotHero and gotten $25 in parking credit.  The app is SO easy to use and they offer parking in so many cities around the country.  I plugged in DC and figured out where in the city we wanted to be (close to the National Mall, of course) and chose the best parking garage for us.  On the day of the trip, we plugged the address of the garage into the GPS and hit the road.

We got to DC, grabbed the cameras and started walking. First thing on the agenda was a river cruise that I got at a discount through Amazon Local.  Its like Groupon or LivingSocial, good deals sometimes.

Seeing DC from the river side gave us a different view of the city.

And since we missed the Cherry Blossoms, Jakes decided we should check out a couple of the museums.

We ended up at the Air and Space Museum.

We spent the afternoon wandering around taking pictures.  Jakes was in heaven.  He loves science stuff and he was reading the placards and studying everything.

We only had time for one museum and there are so many others to see. We'll be back!
I love spending time in DC.

Over the Bridge

I'm taking my favorite Nun on a trip this weekend!  We're heading to MA where she's giving a retreat.  Sister Anne is a wonderful person!  She epitimizes everything a nun should be, without the ruler!

Sis celebrated her jubilee (50 years as a nun) a couple of years ago and it was a party!

I'm anticipating some adventures for us and will share the stories!

Have a fabulous weekend!
