The weather was absolutely gorgeous for spending a Sunday afternoon at the National Arboretum<\/a>. The azaleas and rhodos were in full bloom and everyone and their neighbor seemed to be there enjoying their beauty. This is that annual time of year to make the journey to witness Spring in its full splendor.
