Washington DC - Netherlands Carillon/US Marine Corps War Memorial, 4/6/18
I went out exploring with Robyn during the day on Friday. (Thanks again to Katie for the lillebaby carrier!) I didn't take the big camera with me, but I think I did every other day, haha. We went to see the Netherlands Carillon - a 127 foot high bell tower gifted to the US from the Netherlands as a token of gratitude for aid provided during and after WWII. It was dedicated in 1960, and the bells really ring! It's in a beautiful park surrounded by tulips, overlooking the US Capital and Washington Monument. It's also right by Arlington Cemetery (though I didn't actually go in the cemetery this day) and near the US Marine Corps War Memorial (or the Iwo Jima Memorial). The weather was beautiful this day, and probably the only day I felt hot, haha.

| We also did a little shopping and got donuts! These were creme brulee (cream filled) and cherry blossom (cherry filled). So good! |
