Washington D.C. is at the top of my list of travel destinations. The history and culture that surrounds this city is beyond anything you can imagine. Spending time among it all reaffirmed my dream to live here one day.
I've been to DC a few times before and try to see something new while also making stops at my favorite sights. One event that I never thought I would experience any time soon is the Cherry Blossom Festival. Everything came together where I could experience this gorgeous event and it did not disappoint! Spending time taking in the gorgeous hues of pink and white among the monuments was breathtaking. Even though I love the portability of my phone, I could not pass up the chance to bring my huge camera for some shots that I plan to hang on my wall.
Along with the Cherry Blossoms we stopped at the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Smithsonian Castle, The White House, and The National Gallery of Art. The Gallery of Art brought to life all the paintings that I've only seen in books. Ballet was a huge part of my life growing up and the reason why Degas is my favorite artist. The colors and flow of his art is mesmerizing and something I can relate to as I cannot draw more than a stick figure. Seeing Vincent van Gogh's work in person was priceless. I am so glad that we made the trek through the gallery and now I can rely on my memory and not books anymore.
I cannot express my gratitude to UAS for providing me with the opportinity to enrich my life and broaden my horizons.
