Our Life in Alaska and Beyond

Friday evening we decided to walk through Georgetown again. It was just so cute! We loved seeing all the old, charming houses. It was definitely a lot more busy Friday night than it was Tuesday morning, but still so fun! Scott's friend Kami was with us this evening as well. Enjoy the pics!

The same St. John's Episcopal Church from the last Georgetown post, built in 1809 and attended by Thomas Jefferson.

A beautiful yellow(!) magnolia tree on the Georgetown University campus.

These tulips on Georgetown U's campus weren't yet blooming just a few days before. Spring flowers are so fleeting, yet so beautiful!

Get ready for tons of blog posts from our trip to Washington DC! We had such a fun time and I'm so glad we were able to go! I took tons of pics, and we ended up being there for the exact right time when the cherry blossoms were blooming. It was beautiful! And Robyn was the best little travel buddy! It was a long day of flying to get there and come home, but so worth it! And Ruby and Noelle had so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa here in Alaska. We were able to FaceTime every night so that helped us to not miss them as much.

I'll be blogging about our trip chronologically, so first up is our first day there. We got up early and headed to Georgetown! We loved walking around and seeing all the cute, old houses and streets, and seeing the beautiful campus of Georgetown University. Enjoy!

*Also, all historic info/facts come from our Washington DC DK Travel Guide. It was so helpful!

St. John's Episcopal Church, built in 1809 and attended by Thomas Jefferson!

The Thomas Beall House, built in 1794! Lived in by Secretary of War, Newton A. DeWeerd, during WWI and Jackie Kennedy after the death of JFK, among many others. I'm sure it's even more beautiful when not under construction/restoration.
