Last weekend we gave Sienna a blessing at church. We were really glad that both mine and Heather's parents were able to come and be here for the event. It was also great to have Tys and his family here, too. We'll do another post about the blessing. This post is about the day before the blessing.
That Saturday, we decided we would go on an excursion to DC. This winter has been one of the mildest in this areas recorded history, and as a result, the cherry blossoms, which normally are at full bloom in April, have already reached and passed full bloom. Luckily, we were able to spend some time down around the Tidal Basin near the Jefferson Memorial were the highest concentration of blossoms are.
Here are some pics that captured our day:
We had a nice picnic in the shade near the Jefferson Memorial.
As we were prepping to leave the Jefferson Memorial, Sawyer noticed a nice little puddle. He had such a great time splashing in it. It was really a cute moment.
After walking around for the afternoon enjoying the cherry blossoms, my mom, Heather's parents, and Heather and our two girls went to the Crime and Punishment Museum. This was something that Heather has wanted to do forever, but since it is one of the few museums that charges admission in the area, we could never convince anyone to go with us. I guess it took Heather having a baby to get what she wanted! It was definitely worth it, though. It's a very interactive museum, including a police driving simulator and firearm practice range. We had a great time.
Afterwards, we walked a few blocks and ate at Nando's Peri Peri. Heather and I love this place, and it was a great way to end our trip to downtown DC.
