Yet, another perk of being a teacher as opposed to another job or even being in school is that I get a spring break! Yeah baby. So, I planned a trip to visit Abby and Matt, Abby was one of my college roommates and I haven't seen her since she got married. I have been to D.C. before, right after I graduated from high school, but anyone who has been to D.C. knows that one trip or for me one day is not enough time. Thus, I was looking forward to this 4 day trip. I was in D.C. from Saturday to Wednesday. Saturday night Abby and I saw the last day of the Cherry Blossom Festival which ended in fire works. A beautiful sunset started off our night of monuments. I think the monuments are best in the evening because they are lit up and they were better than I remembered. We saw the Jefferson, the Washington, the WWII, the Lincoln, and the FDR. However, my camera died, of course, so I only got this one photo and Abby has the rest of us at the monuments.
Walking along the Potomac to see the Jefferson Monument.
Easter!
Easter Sunday I spent going to church with Abby and Matt, making dessert for dinner with Abby's friends that evening, and playing a competitive game of pictionary which the girls won. I have to say that I was a little sad I would be missing Easter with Adam but Abby was so sweet and made me and Easter Basket--Thank you Abby. I loved it. Plus, dinner with the Waldrip's friends was very entertaining. They have a great groups of friends and they were so welcoming to me. Easter ended up being a great eveing.
Doesn't this look delicious! Abby and I made Triffle for dessert for Easter dinner. I wish I could give you the recipe but we just made it as we went and it turned out to be scrumpshis.
