Spring Weekend!

I had been looking forward to the weekend since it ushered in the Spring season. The weather was sunny and between 50 and 60 degrees over the weekend, which was welcomed after having colder weather for awhile. I wanted to get together a photo jaunt for Saturday the 21st at National Harbor. It's a new season and a new town, so it was great for exploration. I had never been to the National Harbor before, but after hearing about it and seeing the website, it sounded like a great place to photograph. Besides, I knew that the Awakening Statue was moved over there from Hains Point and wanted to see it at it's new home.

We had 19 people come out for the photo jaunt, with some people joining us later on. We started our jaunt by the Awakening Statue and then went out on the docks where the water taxis come and go. Just before lunch several us went to the Visitor Center which has a scaled model of the National Harbor. It was so cool looking at the detail of it and taking pictures of it. At Noon we had lunch at Potbelly Sandwich Works, which currently seems like the least expensive place to eat there. After lunch we stopped by Art Whino to check out some art and get some inspiration. Then we went to the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center which was felt like a town within a botanical garden. It's such a cool place to walk around. Then we went along the shore and got back to where we started our jaunt. It was a great time and I hope everyone who went was inspired and learned something new about photography.
