My badge for work.  They take it back at the end of the term.  Boo!

More tulip picture taking.  The rain destroyed them a week later.

This was before our trip to VA Beach.  We ate dinner at P.F. Changs and decided to make it a dressy night.

Some random artwork on the beach.

The view from our balcony at sunset.

Yes and I on the beach

Jumping for joy.  The water in the Atlantic was FREEZING!!

A spontaneous weekend mini-vacation to Virginia Beach, VA!

The entire gang in front of the cherry blossoms. To tell you the truth, I don't think these were in full bloom yet and the tulip library was much prettier.

At the National Mall for Cherry Blossom festival. This is apparently a very big deal, and the metro station was TERRIBLE! It was so jam packed, our train waited a minute or two (which is a long time to stand on a train that is FULL of people...and I mean you couldn't move an inch) before it opened the doors because the platform had to clear. It was chaos.

I don't know what this tree is, but it was nice.

In front of the magnolia trees

Those irises behind us smelled so lovely!

Here we are in the Tulip Library

The prettiest tree...it was SO pink!

By the Reflecting Pool..it was so windy that day that the water splashed onto the sidewalk and got pedestrians wet!

Cherry Blossoms!
