Arboretum
Staying with the theme of gorgeous spring flowers in DC, Frank and I took Nico to the US Arboretum the day before Easter. We had been there once before but didn’t realize how sprawling the place is — we had parked and walked and thought we covered a lot of ground. This time, we drove the circuit to get a feel for what was planted where. Then we parked near the Asian gardens, walked through there on a trail that led down to the Anacostia River, and then came back up to walk over to the grove of magnolia trees in full bloom. They were simply gorgeous, as you can see in the photos here.
