A visit to the National Cathedral

 Today we went on another outing.  This time we went to the National Cathedral in in NW DC.  It's on of my most favorite places in DC and we are so close to it this time!  Last time we lived here, we were so far away. 
The last time we visited was right before Aoife was born!  Things have changed so much!!  We had a great time and we didn't even go inside the church! If you want pictures of the inside, click on the link here.  The Bishop's Garden is absolutley beautiful and very peaceful - at least until we got there!! 
There is a big grassy area that would be perfect for a picnic - there are benches and lots of shade as well!  Since it's so close, hopefully we'll be back soon!
 Emmy is so helpful with Declan!

The National Cathedral

This morning we went to the National Cathedral. I have been wanting to go for a while and I figured we better do it now or maybe it wouldn't happen! It was actually HOT which was a little weird since we haven't had a very warm spring. It seemed to go from 50 and rainy to 90 and sunny in one day.
The Cathedral is gorgeous and there are some beautiful gardens. We didn't get to see everything so I hope we get to go back but it is a bit of a hike from our house!
