Spring is in the air!

The sun was out and so were we, this weekend!  We found some beautiful new spots in Georgetown and took a step back in history at Arlington Cemetery.  
Beautiful Georgetown from the Key Bridge, which connects Arlington to DC.  The bridge is actually a short walk, down a bike path, from our apartment.  
We spotted our first African American Leprechaun by the river.
Check out this store window.  Literally, floor to ceiling, wall-to-wall antique sewing machines!
Georgetown is full of beautiful streets with some killer hills.
I think I can.  I think I can.
We were actually looking at the creek, which was about 15 feet ahead.  :)
We found a chill outdoor restaurant/bar on the Potomac.  Very basic - 3 menu choices (we split the burger and the crab cake sandwich) and your standard bar choices.  It felt like something you would find in a beach town like Key West or dare we say...the Jersey Shore.  
It was there where we spotted another rare leprechaun.  Unbelievable!
Today, we had to go to Bed Bath and Beyond for a few things, but Arlington Cemetery is 2 stops before on the Metro, so we decided to take a quick tour.
We were just in time for the changing of the guards.
Thanks for stopping by!  Have a happy week ahead.  Keep an eye out for strange looking leprechauns!
