Since our husbands were supposed to have been gone overseas, a girls weekend to DC was planned months ago for Memorial Day Weekend, but then--as usual--schedules changed and our husbands were still home, so we decided to go anyway :) Don't worry Andrew & Isaac (Rachel's husband) went on a backpacking trip into the George Washington Nat'l. Forest, so while they were sleeping on the ground listening to drunk hillbillies do the rebel yell (yeah not joking :)), we were staying at the Hyatt across from Georgetown -- hee hee.
Above are pictures inside the Library of Congress, believe it or not it was my first time inside. And boy have I been missing out! It is beautiful, plus we saw 1 of only 3 existing Gutenberg Bibles! And to think the trip inside all began with the need for a restroom! By the way, the most amazing public restrooms I have ever seen..they were marble and had crown moudling...this is important information if you're ever touring DC!
The stars of the "girls weekend" Jessi, Rachel & Erin (we got together with Stacy as well, but unfortunately don't have a picture of us all together!)
Why don't my hydrangeas look like that? Apparently the National Botanical Garden has something I don't have...is it the full time staff or the year round greenhouse? Hmm...

Boy, I'm going to have to remember to use those restrooms next visit! Love those hydrangias!! I think you hit the nail on the head. I'd love to have their staff help me with my yard!! Especially now. Being under the weather with the bronchitus, I'm very far behind.
Good thing you didn't take me along. I'd still be there. (Not in the restroom). One of these days...
