Still playing catch up with my blog…about a month behind 😉
Last month I took a trip to Washington DC, my birth place! I have zero memories of my hometown since we moved to San Diego when I was 5, but I have been back a few times since. This was my first time as an adult though! My best friend, Ann Marie moved to Maryland six months ago so I took the opportunity (and free board!) to spend some time with her and see the East Coast for a few days! I planned my trip around the Cherry Blossom Festival held every Spring. In the weeks leading up to my trip it looked like I was going to just miss the cherry blossom trees blooming. They decided to start blooming the week I got there, thanks goodness! What a beautiful sight!
Since I was pretty much on vacation, I only took my camera out twice, so there aren’t a ton of photos! But I hope you enjoy the ones I did take!
Meet Ann Marie. This girl makes me laugh like no other. This photo fills my heart.
We spent a day in Baltimore as well! I went here on an 8th grade trip but don’t remember much of it!
I really wanted to see Edgar Allen Poe’s gravesite, thankfully it was open on a Sunday! It was super eerie and overcast when we got there…perfect cemetery weather! As soon as we got back in the car it started pouring rain!
I want to plan a yearly trip to the East Coast to get my Ann Marie fix! So if there is anyone out there interested in booking a wedding or portrait session with me near the DC area, please let me know and I can inform you of my future travel plans!

Beautiful pics Melissa! I so love the cherry blossoms!
These are awesome! 🙂 I’m going to Philly, NY and DC in 2 weeks! <3 <3 SO excited.
Love the cherry blossoms! We just learned about them in my class and made their own trees.
These are all beautiful, Melissa. They make me kind of sad that our back yard needs to be cut and weeded. Everything here just looks so naturally perfect and crisp.
Love the photos! It’s fun to see NWR photos every once in awhile. I love that you include them on your blog!
So pretty! I love those cherry blossoms! *sigh*
