Memorial Day
After taking advantage of the Memorial Day furniture sales to purchase a half-price couch, we decided to actually observe Memorial Day by heading over the DC war memorials.
Cherry Blossoms and Bad Light
So, the weather during this year’s Cherry Blossom Festival was just nasty. I brought my camera to work on a day that was actually really nice but by the time I made it down to the Tidal Basin to snap some shots of the cherry blossoms, the weather turned back to crap. It was cold, [...]
