We're back from our safari. It was an amazing trip and we saw even more than we imagined. As I get over jet-lag I'll be posting more, but for now, here are some of my favorite pictures that Chris and I took over the past couple weeks.
Lately, the weather has been surprisingly beautiful in Washington, DC. The sun is warm, but the breeze is cool. The colors on the trees are uncharacteristically pretty this year. The entire city is smiling and friendly after the recent election. Everyone is expectantly waiting the exit of some politicians and influx of new government officials. Crowds have dwindled since the summer and we're not geared up yet for holiday travelers, so the monuments and museums are eerily empty and peaceful. It's a nice time of year. Chris and I took a walk in Rock Creek Park today. It's easy to forget how much natural beauty there is, right inside the city limits.
Chris and I went out to take pictures of DC at night. The wind was messing with our camera in the low light but the pictures still came out alright, I think.
It's cherry blossom time in Washington. Today, Chris and I went down to wander the tidal basin. Despite a little rain, we lucked out with very few other people out and about. To see the best pictures from our photo safari, visit our Cherry Blossom photo album.
And if you're going to see the cherry blossoms, read through our travel guide on how to avoid the crowds for some tips and ideas.
We just got back from the DC fish market where we picked up mussels for dinner. It is an unique destination and will soon be undergoing some renovations, making it a great place to visit and document before it changes.
I took this red panda picture on a trip to the National Zoo. This habitat is part of the new Asia Trail.

Yesterday, we got a lot of fluffy, beautiful snow...until it started raining. And of course I ran out and took pictures. I really do live in a beautiful city and it's gorgeous in the snow. I'm paying for my fine outting today with sore legs from trudging all across DC in the snow. But it was a lot of fun. I've just added a new album with some of the pictures, so please check them out! Again, the pictures are sometimes cropped very strangely in the online album since they are all put into squares, but click on any individual picture to see the whole thing.
Chris and I are back from our honeymoon in Malta! It was a fantastic trip that I will have to write all about. For now, we're relaxing and celebrating Chris' birthday. Below are some of the highlights of our trip pictures and for more, check out the rest of the album. The album cropped the pictures to fit squares, but just click on them to see the whole image. We will be adding the descriptions later, so be sure to check back. I hope you enjoy them!
