capitol tour and a lot of nonsense

   Hey Hey! So, I guess it's about time to play catch up again! Bear with me!
The past few months have been busy busy busy! Taylor is wrapping up his first year MBA and I've been working some interesting jobs, including, but not limited to: The White House (okay, okay, that was literally the only interesting job I had...and mostly because I saw why nothing is getting done around here ((and by here I mean, America)) empty hallways, empty offices, people...the probably is the empty-ness of it all)
   The Cherry Blossoms were GORGEOUS this year! As I'm sure they are every year, something I wouldn't really know, but I can't imagine they have ever NOT been gorgeous! Our street, apparently, is spilling over with cherry trees! The blossoms appeared out of nowhere early one morning, stayed for about a week, then snowed down for several days...then we got to live all over again immediately afterwards, as a whole street in our neighborhood was a late bloomer (much like myself, haha, punny).
   *funny story: Taylor and I decided because there were SO MANY blossoms, the trees could spare a few clippings so we could enjoy them in our home as well as outside of it. Well, one of our neighbors wasn't thrilled and proceeded to tap menacingly on his/her window at as during our clipping adventure. I just ignored her. I know, suh rude. Her view was no less gorgeous because of us taking a few clusters of blossoms, so she (or he) can suck it! Plus, they made our little place smell lovely!

Several Saturday's ago we met our friends Ellen and Gabe Bush at Eastern Market for some brunch and browsing. We had never been, and I had been wanting to since we moved here. It was fantastic! I wish we lived closer to a metro, I would literally be there always. No, really.




   Two Saturday's ago (everything happens on Saturday around these parts, although, it would be nice if everything happened on Tuesday, because traffic is TERRIBLE on Saturdays.) Taylor and I went on  a tour of the Capitol Building. I really just wanted to see the Apotheosis of George Washington (shame on you if you don't know what that is, google it.). It was a fun (quick) tour, and we spent the rest of the day wandering around the Capitol grounds and checking out the visitor's center for the Library of Congress, which we loved SUH MUCH we went straight over and got ourselves library cards for the Library of Congress! It was ten times more amazing than the Capitol, FYI, so if you ever come to DC, go there please!! I'm about to upload a plethora of photos, but most people just look at blogs for the photos, right?
