DC Part I: Evelyn Discovers Tulips

This past Saturday we went up to DC for the Cherry Blossom Festival. It was a bit grey and cool, but we dressed warmly and were fine. I think it helped keep the crowds done too, which was nice!
Evelyn was fascinated with the city. As you know, she likes exploring new things and she loves excitement. She may have been a bit over-stimulated at first, but she just didn't know where to look first. Here she is with her serious, intense look just taking in everything around her. This is her first real big city trip!

This fountain was right outside our parking garage. Evelyn LOVED it. As you can tell, she was not into getting her picture taken! She's craning her neck as far as she can trying to see the fountain again. :)
I love tulips, but only for about a 1 week period. Then I think they look spindly and not-so-beautiful. However, the tulips planted all over DC were all in their one week peak of gorgeousness! They were amazing. They looked so beautiful, their bright colors contrasting the the grey day.
Evie loved them too. :)

We loved watching her explore all the city sites and sounds as well as the brightly colored flowers! And all this was just in the first half our we were in the city! :)
