Mid-April, we went on a little trip to visit my family in North Carolina. On the way there, we stayed a night with our friend who lives outside of DC, because I really wanted to check out the Cherry Blossom Festival for the first time. And DC for the first time.
Now, I should establish something for people who don't already know. I am a crabby, irritable person, with a very limited amount of tolerance for crap. I don't like being touched and jostled, I don't like the heat, I don't like being in a crowd of slow-moving people, and I get hangry. That being said, none of that stuff bothered me because it was so cool!!

| I don't pretend to know what this is, I just like cool architecture. |
 |
| This building is like a block or two long, and our friend worked in it. |
 |
| The south face (original front) of the White House. It was too crowded on the walk back to see the other side. |
 |
| Yay art. |
 |
| WWII nurse memorial? |
 |
| It started snowing petals and I delightedly thought I'm a geishaaaa |
 |
| Lincoln's got that reserved anger look of a grandpa trying to watch TV but keeping an eye on the misbehaving kids |
 |
| The pagoda statue, that basically states "sorry Japan. We cool?" |
 |
| Tim desperately wanted to go on paddle boats, but we only had the afternoon to spend in DC and there was a 45 minute wait. Next year! |
 |
| This is where Project Purity is housed, in the Jefferson memorial. |
