dc in full bloom.

hubs and i couldn't make it to the cherry blossom festival last year 

 so once we found out the harding's were going this year, we eagerly jumped on the bandwagon! 

 we've taken a weekend trip with the hardings before (to my beloved boston. see here. and here.) 

 and already knew they were the perfect traveling buddies!

and after a crazy 28 hours in dc, we're back, but wishing we weren't! 

since we've been so busy lately, it was great to leave it all behind for a weekend rendezvous. 

 although saturday was a bit drizzly and cold, it was amazing to see the trees and flowers in full bloom 

{something nyc has yet to experience this year} we didn't necessarily have anything planned to do 

once we got there, but we sure did have a list of restaurants we wanted to eat at. it'd be fair to say we 

ate ourselves through dc and stopped to see some sights along the way. 

the first restaurant we hit up was matchbox

{or fire alarm, if you can't remember the name like me...}

 cool vibe. cool decor. and delicious food. 

despite the waitress thinking angie and i were fraternal twins 

{because clearly floral scarves, cameras, and wavy hair lead to such conclusion}, i'd say it was an a+. 

since this was the first time in months my dear camera has seen the light of day, 

there are many more pictures to come!
