Stavish Easter DC Tradition
by Mindi Stavish on April 24, 2011
Ever since Xander was born we have gone to the Carillion Tower in Arlington to take pictures at the tulip gardens on Easter day. It’s hard to believe that this is Xander’s third Easter! Time goes by far too quickly when you have little ones. Xander loved running around all the flowers today. I loved that he ran around the flowers saying “pretty flower” and stopped to smell them every once and awhile. Too cute!

We have been wanting to climb the Tower for years now but it is always closed when we are here. It had recently been closed for repairs to the rails. Finally it was open and Adrian went up it to take some pictures. I didn’t realize the neat layout of the garden until he took these pictures.

Happy Easter from our family to yours!
