Washington DC

For Mother's day, we went to DC spend some time with Jay's family. We stayed at Liane's who now lives in Arlington. It was a great weekend, way too short. We need to come back during the Cherry Blossoms Festival :)
We did get to walk ALL AROUND the National mall and to see the beautiful National Cathedral.
And Jay got to play with his new camera too.

The National Cathedral, completed in 1990


The builders of the cathedral incorporated a moon rock in this window. So cool!

Union Station.
The statues of Roman soldiers all around used to be naked, but since it shocked people, capes and shields were added.



Jay's dad with president Barack Obama. He he he.

Fête des mères, en France c'est pour le 7 juin et en Espagne c'était le 3 mai. Super week-end, surtout bien rempli, le nouvel appareil photo de Jay va à merveille car les photos sont magnifiques. Les vitraux de la cathédrale sont de toute beauté et les soldats et Lincoln paraissent vivants et le papa de Jay avec Obama, génial, mais oui, vous aussi vous êtes beaux ...
Plein de gros bisous.
