Monumental Travel Tuesday

 
 
 As we mentioned last week, the pawrents recently visited Washington DC. As you might have guessed,
Mama took a bunch of pictures. Today, we're going to look at some of the monuments they visited.



 
 This is the "Symbol of America" part of the WWII Memorial. It symbolizes the Industrial
Strength of America during WWII.

After the WWII Memorial, the folks strolled to the Lincoln Memorial. They are doing lots of renovations to the outside of the memorial, so this is the best picture Mama has of the beautiful monument.

 
 President Lincoln is doing fine though. 
 
 
 
 Daddy spent a lot of time near the Congress with his work. 
Unfortunately, they let the politicians in there too. This is where they make all the crazy human laws and stuff. 
 

 
 Mama took this from the top of the stairs of the Lincoln Memorial. Usually there would be a "Reflecting Pool" where that little stream is, but they had it drained for maintenance. But you can see all the way to
Capitol Building.
 

 
 Mama was a little obsessed with the entrance to Chinatown. Built in 1986, the Friendship Arch is a symbol of friendship between China and the United States....hmmmm, maybe it's time to remind both countries they are supposed to be friends.
 
 
 
 Last, but not least, is the White House...where President Biden currently resides. He was even in town the week the pawrents were there as he gave his State of the Union Address while the folks were eating dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, it doesn't get much more American than that!
 BOL 
 
Unfortunately, Mama didn't make it to all the famous monuments but we are happy you could join us for a little look around Washington DC!

Do you have a favorite Monument in Washington DC?

Cherry Blossoms

 
Howdy effuryone! Welcome to Nature Friday, where we can meet some new friends and maybe share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. 
This week, we are letting Mama show off some of the pictures she took of the famous Washington DC Cherry Blossoms.

The pawrents were amazed to have temperatures in the 60s most of the week they were in DC. Between the warm temperatures and rain, the cherry blossoms are making an early appearance!

They're were lots of beautiful pinks and the grass was so green!!

If you know Mama, you know she found some artsy things to frame with the pink blooms

Mama says that cherry blossom pink might just be as pretty as Carribean Blue....

I told her it was much prettier, of course Pink IS my most favorite color!

While the streets looked so pretty lined with pink, Mama said a lot of the cherry blossoms hadn't started to bloom yet or were just starting to bloom


Like this tree along the "National Mall"


In front of the Washington Monument!


All in all, even the beginning of cherry blossom season
looks beautiful and it must be something beautiful to see 
when it's in full swing.


Have you ever been to Washington DC during cherry blossom season?

We hope you all get out and see some blooms this weekend!

  
Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

Getting Ready

 
This week we are thankful to be "de-winterizing" CeCe and getting her all ready for our next adventure(only 8 more sleeps left). 

It's been a crazy couple of weeks around here..

First, last week the pawrents took a trip to Washington DC(more on this trip coming up soon) and left us to be spoiled by Nanny J. 

THEN

This week, strange people have been coming into the house and changing the color of our house walls!

Luckily while they are doing that, we are in CeCe getting things spiffed up and clean for our trip!

We are definitely thankful to have an adventure coming up so we can escape from all this craziness!


Thank you Angel Brian for hosting the
Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
