Tidal Basin Fun

We had a relaxing day walking around the tidal basin and checking out the memorials.  The weather was perfect and the boys did great.
 Most of the blossoms were gone except for a few trees that were back away from the Basin.  I just love Cherry Blossoms, they are so pretty.
 Martin Luther King Memorial.
View looking away from MLK Memorial.


 FDR Memorial was really cool.  It is more spread out than just one big building like the other memorials.



 White Blossom Tree.

FDR with his dog, Fala.  The boys liked him the best.


 Picnic lunch on the steps of the Jefferson Memorial, overlooking the Tidal Basin, makes for a perfect lunch.

 Looking out from the Jefferson.  Chase cracks me up.
 Waiting in line for the Paddle boats.
 My 3 captains.  I was banned form steering.  We had a great time.




 Beautiful Tulip garden on the edge of the Tidal Basin.


Ice Cream Snack before jumping on the Metro to head home.  Bryce picked a Spiderman Popsicle.
