Spring in DC

Spring might be my favorite season in DC.  I love the Cherry Blossoms and just walking around outside.  I kind of became obsessed with the Cherry Blossoms and went almost every day to see them when they were blooming.  Lucky for me I could ride/run during lunch and after work.   Beth and I also ran the Cherry Blossom 10 miler which was the perfect race for Spring in DC.

This is always the first tree to bloom.  It's right by my work.

Lunch time walk around the Capitol.

Run around the Tidal Basin.
Can you see the Washington in the background?

Tidal Basin and MLK.

Waiting for class I took this picture.  It's the last of the blossoms.

Backyard at work.  My work is really an amazing place.
Mitch and I on my way to work.
 If you can't tell I am obsessed with the Cherry Blossoms.

New York

We went to New York over Easter to visit Abby and Jason, it was the perfect trip.  I could go there a thousand times over and over again and still love every single moment.  We basically ate the entire time, what we do best in New York.  We also spent most of our time in Brooklyn, which I loved.  Just to name a few, we went to the Meatball Shop, the Donut Shop, Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery for Banana Cream Pudding (I think it's better than Magnolia's), Ample Hills Creamery, and Ippudo Noodle Bar.  WE LOVE to EAT!

Eating at the Meatball Shop in Brooklyn, I love the pesto and chicken!  

We Love BROOKLYN.

Ippudo Noodle Bar.  It was delicious.

Mitch is handsome.  Can you see the Statue of Liberty?
I love the Staten Island Ferry.  

We went to see Once and both loved it.



I heart Detroit

I finally made it to Detroit with Emily to see Sarah.  It was the perfect trip, just a little too short.  I can't wait to go back and explore some more.  Detroit is an amazing city and I am fascinated by the history.  Thank you so much Sarah & Co. for a perfect trip!
