raffaella goes to washington...

Reminiscing about my Mexico trip got me thinking about some of the other big vacations I've been lucky enough to go on in the past year. Hard to believe it's almost been a year since my spring break adventure in Washington and New York. I'd love to go back, but for now the best I can do is revisit the photos.

Washington was an incredible place to photograph. The brutalist architecture of the Metro was so impressive in person. I just could not get enough of the vaulted ceilings. But it wasn't just the Metro that caught my eye. It seemed that every which way I turned in Washington there was something to photograph whether it be the one of the many monuments, the cherry blossoms, the Smithsonian, the White House grounds, even the President.

Our five days in Washington also included a visit with a dear flickr friend and a trip to Arlington cemetery. It's also possible that there might have been a brief stop at Target to see what Liberty of London products might be for sale. Mostly window shopping however, since the real shopping was planned for our next destination. Luckily we were only a short train ride away.
