Easter with Sean's Family

This Easter season we took a short trip to see Sean and his family. Four months away from the grandkids is long enough we decided. Since it was April, we ventured to Washington DC one day to witness the blooming cherry blossoms along the Tidal Basin. The blooms were at their end, but it was still beautiful and it smelled so wonderful. Here is a pic of Washington Monument surrounded by cherry blossoms.

The Jefferson Memorial was picturesque with over a 1,000 cherry trees surrounding it!

On the way back to the car, Dave put Kyo into this tree stump, and of course Mcrae had to get into the act. So here are the 4 boys posing for pics.

Kyo wasn't sure he wanted this pic. It's amazing how small we look in front of this huge bronze of Thomas Jefferson. This is the inside of the Jefferson Memorial. It is a beautiful monument!
