D.C. Cherry Blossums at Sunrise

Last weekend I took a trip with my long time friend  Serina to Washington, D.C. to visit my college roommate Beth. I checked out the city for the first time last August and added it to my top ten favorite towns America.  It was great to be back, even if I didn’t sleep much while I was there.  Saturday morning we woke before sunrise, made a quick pit stop at Star Bucks for americanos, then headed down to the Tidal Bison to see the Japanese Cherry Blossoms in peak bloom.  We were tired, but it was worth it.  The light was stunning and the stretch of trees lining the water were pure eye candy. Thanks ladies for putting up with the paparazzi
