Bringing the World to You

One of the ones that really impressed me was the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, located about midway along the Tidal Basin between The Jefferson Memorial and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial.
When you go to Washington, D.C., there's one thing that no matter where you go on the National Mall, you will see: The Cherry Blossom trees. So where did this gorgeous collection of pink trees originate? Are they native to D.C.?

The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was awesome. The staff were so attentive and sweet. They offered to take our pictures and talked with us along the ride. It was a wonderful time...
When I told my girlfriend that for her birthday, I was going to take us to New Orleans, she was excited. The French Quarter, Bourbon Street, Steamboats, and Ghost Tours filled her imagination as I told her that I was going to plan the entire thing for her, and that she didn't have to worry about any of it. I would say about a month and a half later, we set out to Louisiana.
