And, since this was a milestone birthday for me, we combined these two celebrations with a short trip to Springfield, VA to visit long-time friends Barb and John, my cousin and his wife, John and Sherry and a first-time meeting with blogger friends Denise (An English Girl Rambles) and husband Gregg.
Our original meet date of Feb 13 was cancelled because of the snowstorm that impacted the east coast. Instead, we "met" by way of a very long (and fun) video chat between our hotel room and their home that day. We postponed an in-person meeting until the next day, which was Hearts Day.
Denise and Gregg graciously met us at our hotel and suggested a drive to Washington, DC. Unlike the 24 hours before, the weather was all blue skies and sunshine. We had a wonderful time chatting and briefly touring some of the Smithsonian museums.
Thanks to our very gracious hosts, Denise and Gregg for a wonderful visit. We had a GREAT time and once again — blogger friends are the BEST !

I understand that Washington is a great place to visit.
My husband has an airplane, so he would enjoy seeing those planes! It sounds like you had a fun visit.
Beautiful shots! The city looks appealing, and those museum interiors really draw me in.
Good for you...it looks like you had a great time!...:)JP
A lovely post and your photos are a great reminder of the fun time we had. We look forward to more get-togethers in the future, be it through FaceTime or on our road trips. Have a wonderful week Dorothy and Pat, it sure was great to meet you in person :)
I bet you enjoyed their company. We also met them back in 2011 and they were the best hosts and tour guides. You are right about needing weeks to see all the museums.
Very nice blog. Blogger friends are the best! kden and I have each traveled half way across WA state to meet...two summers in a row. We spend the time eating lunch and chatting for hours and going for walks. Her blog is "Feel Like Complaining."
Glad you had a nice trip!

Aloha from Hawaii! Thanks for your visit to my blog. And, yes, Denise and Gregg are lovely people. We met them in Washington, DC, for lunch last August. You have a very nice blog and I have included it in my blog roll.
