Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception


This church is full of amazing mosaics which represent different cultures from around the world. We took a tour in which our tour guide moved very quickly, but was a hoot. I'll have to go back if possible so I have more time to take photos.







Jefferson Memorial


We had a beautiful day to attend the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington D.C. Here you see the Jefferson Memorial along with a few Cherry trees and hoards of tourists.

Time To Eat


This was one of the turtles at the Tortugranja Turtle Farm on Isla Mujeres. Visitors could feed them these little pellets, so I think they were eating all day long.
