One Last Look at Lincoln and Cherry Blossoms

March 22, 2012 (Yes, I am still way behind) - This was our last trip to downtown D.C. for the forseeable future. I was a little melancholy knowing that we would not be able to come and see the monuments at night whenever we wanted. But, I also knew that it was the right move for our family. It was a weird mix of emotions as our VA life was coming to a close. But, here we are at the Lincoln Memorial. It is still one of my favorites and (I believe) Tyson's favorite. Good times in D.C. (especially because you can find parking at night, so going to see the monuments is possible!).

Can you tell that Reed did not want to be in the photo?

March 25, 2012 - Tyson's parents flew in to help Tyson drive back West (I flew with the 3 kidlings). They helped with some last minute packing and we even got to see some really cool things: Reed Walker's house (one of Reed's namesakes) and the cherry blossoms.

Comparatively to the last time, this house looks awesome! It's had a new paint job and everything just looks a bit refreshed. I just think it's amazing that we were able to find it and visit it twice.



We also went to see the cherry blossoms at Kenwood. Sadly, there was a storm a few days before we were able to see them, so a lot of blossoms fell off. But, there were still plenty to be seen on the trees, and it was still beautiful! Here was our journey through Kenwood.

He was a little rough with the branches. :)
