First Easter in Virginia

We celebrated Easter in Virginia and it was William's first Easter Sunday - in addition to his first trip to Virginia! It was the most beautiful Easter weekend in Virginia I can remember with crystal clear blue skies, low 60s, and not an ounce of humidity in the air. It felt so crisp and all the spring flowers were in bloom. Sadly, we missed the cherry blossoms downtown and I had really been looking forward to seeing them with William. The peek bloom was moved up several weeks because of the abnormally warm weather the Mid-Atlantic has had this past winter. By the time we got to DC the blooms were all gone. Next year!

While we were in DC/Virginia, William saw the White House, the Washington Monument and the Capitol from afar. We had lunch at the Willard and walked around the city a bit. The rest of the weekend we spent in Virginia just relaxing and spending some quality time with friends and family. We took a walk with William around Burke Lake, one of my favorite trails in the area and he went on strolls with his Great Aunt Celine. His Grandma Tisone bought him a cuddly lamb blanket for Easter and his Grandpa Tisone walked Burke Lake with him too. He met the Collins and Baby Collins (gender to be disclosed in September!) and celebrated my cousin Alec's 18th birthday. A wonderful weekend in William's Mama's old stomping grounds! I can't wait until he's older and he can really enjoy all that the Washington area has to offer!
