A Sunday Stroll in DC
 
My wife and I went out for a walk this past Sunday and took some pics that I hope you enjoy.

Well, that's it. We ran out of legs and dragged ourselves to the Metro and took the lazy way back home. :D

Jim Richards 04-03-2007 05:35 AM

Thanks Tim! :)

Cool pics! I was out cheering on (and handing out beer to) runners in the Cherry Blossom 10-miler on Sunday morning. The District was a madhouse. Walking and metro was a much better way to get around than by car.

DC always looks nice in the Spring. Nice pics!

Thanks Joe. Spring is really the most beautiful season in DC. Fall in NoVA is spectacular, too.

DaveE 04-03-2007 06:20 AM

Those are great pics Jim! Besides one or two quick business trips the past few years, it's been way too long since I visited and truly soaked in the sights, considering I'm a mere 3 hours or so away. I need to do that.

Thanks for correcting me, David. Based on when this went up, I just assumed...:(
