Dumbarton Oaks | Washington DC

I enjoyed getting to Dumbarton Oaks last week before the blooms went away (and apparently spring went away!) but we had a glorious day last week and I checked out the gardens at this lovely spot right in my neighborhood!

A lovely weekend in LA!

It was great to beat the DC cold for a long weekend in Los Angeles visiting family and enjoying 85 degree weather!  I even got to the Warner Brothers studio tour!

Cherry Blossom Kite Festival

I have always wanted to go to the Cherry Blossom Kite Festival held on the National Mall every year.  This was the year, but unfortunately the weather did not get the memo that it is suppose to be spring!! It was FREEZING, but I saw some kites, took some photos and then toured the National Archives to stay warm!  (another museum I had not been to- definitely worth it, even though they did not allow photography...!!?!!?)
