Great Falls, VA
I'm talking about those paddlers here at beautiful Great Falls Park! This is the Potomac River, right at the boundary of Maryland and Virginia. We can actually see the people on the Maryland side of the river! =) It's a beautiful park with hiking trails, but for now, turn your attention to the paddlers. Can you see a paddler on the photo above?
I'm only half kidding about those crazy paddlers! Hee-hee!

Air and Space Museum
Chantilly, VA
I have not been to the one in DC, but the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum is quite cool!
From wikipedia The Concorde is a retired turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner or supersonic transport. Among other destinations, Concorde flew regular transatlantic flights from London Heathrow and Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport to New York JFK and Washington Dulles; it flew these routes in less than half the time of other airliners. Concorde was retired in 2003.
I got to see a Concorde! Not in action of course! =D
The newest addition to the museum at this time, was of course the Space Shuttle Discovery! They've got a pretty amazing collection here!

Spring is in the air!
Vienna, VA
Can you smell spring in the air? Well, this year, it seems like everybody can't wait for spring to arrive! I guess almost everyone has had enough snow! Hee-hee! What reminds you of spring better than cherry blossoms, right? Well, this isn't from this year, but a couple of years ago. =D
If you want to view some cherry blossoms and you'd like to avoid the crowds in DC, Meadowlark Botanical Gardens offers just that! It may not be as much cherry blossoms as the tidal basin, but still beautiful enough to view while walking around the gardens. Of course, one of the main draws here is, there's a lot less people than DC! =)
I love it when the petals of the blossoms starts falling down. It's like it's raining flower petals! Have you ever seen the anime Samurai X (Rurouni Kenshin)? I thought before that it was just in cartoons where it's raining pink flower petals! Whoduthunk it's for real?!! Hee-hee! As you can see here, spring arrived early a couple of years ago!
One of my favorite parts of the park is the gazebo in the pond/lake. Isn't it beautiful there?
While at the gazebo, you may find some koi (I think it's koi, it may just be carp... =)) and some turtles in the water! While walking towards the gazebo, we were also followed by some pretty aggressive geese! Hee-hee! There were some flowers in bloom at the time and we did see some tulips already in bloom. Meadowlark is a pretty nice place for taking a walk. The only thing here is, going back it's uphill! Well, it's good exercise!
Aren't cherry blossoms a great reminder of spring? The only thing I don't like about them is that they are fleeting. Two weeks and then they're gone, leaving you to wait for the next spring season when the cherry blossoms bloom again.
