I LOVE Jennifer Garner. She is so cute! And 13 Going on 30 is one of my favorite Jennifer Garner movies. I wonder how long it took her to practice acting like a 13 year old without laughing and being
Cherry Blossoms in Washington, DC

Spring in Washington, DC
April arrived and I took an afternoon off to walk around the mall area of Washington, DC. I saw a lot of blooms about to go nuts and I can\’t wait to go back again this week and see how they are looking.

Spring in Orlando
I was in Orlando for a wedding and I thought I missed the peak Tabebuia season. I used to call them (and still sometimes do) Trumpet Trees but they are not actually trumpet trees. They are Tabebuia trees.
