So, some friends and I took a little trip into DC to visit the National Arboretum. I had no idea what it was all about but it has some amazing things to see there. One of my favorite things about this little excursion was watching the Koi fish. SO FUNNY!! I think I could have fed them for hours.
They had a few different buildings dedicated to bonsai trees. Some were hundereds, yes, hundreds of years old. The Lemon tree has been--as they call it--"In training since 1875". Wow.... And how about the miniature asian scenes set up within the bonsais.....the detail work was beyond amazing--not to mention a little tempting to know what they were talking about so intently... tee hee...
Lastly, they had the original pillars from the Capital Building there, which I had no idea that the originals weren't still with the rest of the building!! It was a relaxing, educational day.....
