During the National Cherry Blossom Festival, Cole and I paddled near the Jefferson Memorial.

Last Sunday, Cole and I traveled into Washington D.C. to experience the National Cherry Blossom Festival. We definitely were not the only ones who had this great idea. The city was buzzing and the metro was packed. Once we finally made it to the blossoms, we ran straight to the Tidal Basin Paddle Boats. Luckily I had scheduled a boat for noon, so we didn't have to wait in a long line. We walked right up to the front and hopped in a boat. . . .

On a sunny spring day, Cole makes note cards out on the balcony.

It's been so nice here. Sun shining. Daffodils blooming. Kids playing. Pool opening. It's all been great except the increased allergic reactions on my part.

Today Cole enjoyed the weather out on our balcony while he made note cards for finals. . . .

Happy Easter!

For Easter this year, we went to church, Cole made some lasagna, we chilled and we dyed eggs. All of the above turned out pretty good, and I have pictures to prove it.

Cole researched a recipe and made lasagna for Easter. . . .

WaterIsLife.com ad in our daily Wall Street Journal.

Yesterday in the Personal Journal section of the Wall Street Journal (really my favorite part of it because it's not wars or finances), I noticed a large, half-page ad. The ad (above) features a barefoot little girl meekly wielding a pick. It's an ad for WaterIsLife.com. . . .
