32, 2 nuns, and O cherry blossoms

So yesterday was my 16 squared birthday.  And I did what any responsible adult would do: take the son to daycare.  And then promptly come back home and return to slumber. 

Hey!  Old ladies need their sleep!

So I got a late start, but it was a well rested start and that's how I need to approach more things: well rested...

The hubby and I metro-ed off to D.C. and had some tasty sushi in Chinatown.  Then we cabbed it over to see some cherry blossoms.  All this time in DC and I've never meandered through those famous trees along the waterfront.

This is where I would post a picture, that I personally took, of said famous trees.  But, apparently, we missed the show a week or something late, because there were No Blossoms, No Cherries. Just a lot of porta potties and a few tents that housed pictures of the trees when they were in full bloom.  Apparently the bloom date was 3/31 this year.  NOT 4/7. BOO.

A pic of what I didn't see in person.  Yay.

So we milled around The Mall and then decided to head home.  But I couldn't let the city excursion go by without at least One Epic Pic documenting our kid-free day out birthday brou ha-ha....

You're Welcome...

We ended the day with another trip to the beach:

and then a faaboolous local dinner!  So....from raw fish, stark trees, catholic nuns, family beach time, to candlelight oysters...I can celebrate something good!!

Hello 32!!
