My Grandparent's Garden

I always enjoy visiting my grandparent's house. There is usually lots of flowers or plants blooming whenever we visit. This time, there were lots of rhododendrons! I couldn't believe just how many different varieties my grandparents had!

So here is a random assortment of nature pictures I took around their house.

Five for Friday

Hello and welcome to my Five for Friday! I am linking up with Cup of Tea , Bright on a Budget, Della Devoted, and BYBMG!

1. We drove up to DC last weekend to meet up with my brother (who moved up to DC a couple of weeks ago.) to visit a museum. We picked him up and then went on a search for a place to park. Finding a place to park in DC is not easy! We ended up opting for Union Station since they had a large garage and you didn't have to reserve a place in advance.

The station itself is rather pretty, so we spent a few minutes there looking around. We ended up just eating lunch there since there were plenty of options for everyone. My brother and mom ate at Pret, and my sister and I opted for Shake Shack.

2. It was fairly hot that day, so walking from Union Station to the museum was not too fun! But we did walk by the Capitol building. It is still just so weird to think we live so close to our nation's capital!

3. We went to the National Museum of American History and spent several hours there exploring. We skipped a couple of sections but for the most part looked at everything. It's nice living closer so we have time to spend all day at one museum if we want to! 

4. And we ended the day with a stop at Ladurée for some macarons. They're a bit pricey but so delicious!

5. And in case you missed it, on Monday I shared some pictures from when we visited Pike Place Market! Be sure to check that out!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Pike Place Market

Pretty much every time we go to Seattle we have to stop by Pike Place Market. I just always enjoy walking around there and checking out the flowers! 

This time though was by far the worst crowd-wise I have ever seen. There were just SO MANY people that it was hard to get around or really even look at anything.

The weather was really nice and I did manage to get a fair amount of flower pictures, so that is always nice!
