The cherry blossoms have been replaced with red azaleas - at Yards Park. Along the Anacostia riverfront is the new neighborhood that keeps getting bigger. On one end is the historic Navy yard, and on the other is the Nationals Stadium - all connected with a river walk. It was still a little cloudy and cool yesterday when we took a turn...and the azaleas were simply beautiful. Several new restaurants and condominiums and apartments are under construction. In the summer the area is packed with locals - particularly on Friday evenings for free concerts and for the kids to splash about the pools to cool down from the heat. And of course, during the baseball season, there are crowds everywhere. Washington is such a pretty place in the Spring and this is a great place to wander and contemplate, or bring the dog for a run in the dog park. None of this existed when we first moved here nine years ago! The area between our house on Capitol Hill and the waterfront has completely transformed. And it's all within walking distance.
