American Beauty

I am in Washington DC for business.  As it turns out, today is part of the national cherry blossom festival here in the city.  The flowers are all in bloom around the monuments - it is fantastic.  I have to say it's one of the most beautiful things I've seen in some time.

Whoever laid out the monuments and green space of Washington did it right.  I saw the new World War II memorial, and I thought it was very well done.  Being around so much history certainly helps you put things in perspective.
