Just got back from Washington DC

 Just got back from a very nice trip to Washington DC.  I have been to Washington DC about 4 times for work but I had never had the chance to explore the capital during those visits.  I was in for quite a treat as I had about 2 days to tour the city with my girlfriend Tu and her family.  I must say it did not disappoint.  The monuments were more grand and historic than I could have even imagined.  My feet were quite sore after two days of walking.  The only disappointment was the White House.  It seemed so small and not at all something that the President of the US would live in. I later found out that we were looking at the back of the White House.  I guess I must return to the capital at some point to get a proper view of it.

My favorite pictures from the trip actually had nothing to do with Washington but some pictures that I took of Tu.  I took a single picture of her against a large tree and I was very impressed with the shape of the tree, the leaves and the way the branches set out from the trunk of the tree.   I did various color schemes but I ended up settling on the black and white.
