Spring Break

One week ago today we returned from a spring break trip to Williamsburg, VA and Washington DC. But, from looking at this first picture,I'll bet you might have guessed that!



We enjoyed a visit with family, took in more history than was wanted (at least from the kids' perspective), enjoyed roller coaster after roller coaster at Busch Gardens, ate well in Georgetown and walked, walked, walked, walked in DC.

I won't bore you with the traditional shots of the Washington Monument and other noteable sites. You've seen them all before and certainly with a better camera than mine. But, here are some pictures of those "traditional" places from a different perspective...



The beautiful Virgina vista surrounding Thomas Jefferson's Monticello.



The cistern (I think) roof at Monticello.



Williamsburg brickwork.



A display of arms at the Governor's Palace, Williamsburg.



The ceiling of the Lincoln Memorial, Washington DC.



The rotunda dome of the Musuem of Natural History, Washington DC






And now for some real fun:



Hope you're enjoying spring, where ever you may be.

Loved the photos. I never think to take pictures from an unusual perspective. I really need to do that. The textures could be used in my work no doubt. I love Williamsburg...one of my favorite places in the US. Glad you had a nice trip!

The photo of the ceiling of the Lincoln Memorial is stunning! I need to remind myself to "look up!"
