Welcome back from the weekend! Hope you enjoyed yourselves. Mine was just great – filled with lots of fun things! Friday we went to Againn for supper. They were serving special British desserts in honor of the Royal wedding – fruit cake (the wedding cake) and chocolate biscuit cake (William’s groom cake). We had fish and chips and bangers and mash and of course a slice of the chocolate biscuit cake :). The whole thing was so delish and English and I FORGOT MY CAMERA!! Total blog fail. Saturday I went to my old roomie Nicole’s engagement party (!) at Urbana wine bar. Sunday we went hiking in Great Falls and then to the brand new (SO amazing) Whole Foods in Rockville. Just fab!
But let’s start with hiking in Great Falls. It could not have been a more beautiful day! Take a look.
I’ve only really used my camera on foodie shots so it was fun to play around with it a bit outdoors. And of course you can’t beat the lighting :).
It was just the most gorgeous weather and there were TONS of people out for Easter picnics. Easter is not such a big holiday in my family but I do like to do something nice to mark the occasion and so a good hike was just perfect. It’s so nice to have nature so close to the city – one of the many reasons I love DC :).
A very fab Easter Sunday indeed! What did you get up to??
See you tomorrow!
I love Great Falls… it’s so close to DC and the scenery so beautiful. Happy Easter!
I used to live near Great Falls. I was within walking distance of the C&O canal in Bethesda (Glen Echo area). Nice photos!
we were just talking how amazing it would be to be within walking distance!! very jealous over here :).
those pictures are beautiful!
we went to brunch at birch and barley. oh my yum. Fresh made donut holes, delicious entrees and a beautiful day…pretty perfect easter!
What a beautiful park/trail! Saturday was gorgeous in CLE, too. Though, I spent it in the mall whipping out my cc way too many times…… 🙂
I love hiking. It’s probably one of my favourite things to do. Your pictures are gorgeous so that must have been one great hike!
What a gorgeous location! Love all of the pictures 🙂 And glad you had such a great weekend!! Mine was just super busy! We hosted Easter this year, which was a blast! I want to host more holidays now 🙂
Did you hike the billy goat trail?!?! I LOVE that trail. So much fun.
I think it was the river trail?? I’ll have to check the billy goat trail out – we only ever do the same one!
That British meal sounds like so much fun!!! I love British fare. I know people can say what they want about British food, but I love fish and chips.
Looks like a fabulous Easter! Your pics are so gorgeous!

Great pics! Sounds like a fun weekend.
It was low key here—family and relaxing. Just what I needed this weekend 🙂
Great Falls looks amazing! I love hiking. There is always an opportunity for a great picture.
