The Botanic Gardens

Today, we went to my friend Sharon's house in the city for brunch and then headed over to the Smithsonian U.S. National Botanic Gardens. Whenever we do a trip like this, it always reminds me that we live in this incredible place with so many different things to do (most of which we don't take advantage of much of the time). I had never actually been to the botanic gardens before, and they are beautiful.
