I’m currently between trips, with a packed itinerary on the horizon. I’ve got a case of wanderlust as bad as the next person, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t love my home. I trek into downtown DC year after year to play in the blossoms (tho I have spared you a slideshow), yet right outside my window is this gorgeous specimen. Just reminding me that we don’t always have to look so far. I’ll be in Florida in a few days and plan to do a mix with my last trip since I never shared photos from my sisters wedding. #frederick #maryland #smalltownusa #historicfrederick #cherryblossoms #dreamcatchers #homesweethome #myplaceintheworld #brilliantlybohemian #mytruth #newadventures #possibilities #dreamerswelcome

The Museum of Natural History is only one of nineteen museums that make up the Smithsonian’s collection. 🏛⬅️🐘 Bonus: it’s free! Home of the Hope Diamond 💎, and probably one of the most popular museums. I’ll skip right to the good stuff (and my personal favorite), the butterfly exhibit. ⬅️😍🦋 #obsessed #butterflies #washingtondc #districtofcolumbia #thedistrict #uscapitol #smithsonian #museums #naturalhistory #butterflyexhibit #daytrippin #wandering #brilliantlybohemian #gypsysoul #dcmuseums #dcarchitecture #corinthiancolumns (at Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History)

Around here the cherry blossoms get all the attention 🌸 and for good reason...but not on this block!! Those magnolias! 😍 Im ashamed to say I almost didn’t notice the exquisite architecture on the building behind it. The contrast between the hard masculine stone and the soft feminine flowers does make my eye so happy. ♥️ #washingtondc #downtowndc #thedistrict #dcarchitecture #uscapitol #magnoliatree #springblooms #artisticarchitecture #contrasts #wanderingphotographers #daytrippin #tourdc #brilliantlybohemian #gypsysoul #creativewanderers #bossgirlbloggers (at Washington, District of Columbia)

The Lincoln Memorial and everyone hanging out on the steps with our 16th President of the U.S. 🇺🇸 Swipe ⬅️ for a peak inside at the statue of honest Abe 🎩, as well as his view of the famous reflecting pool....you know, the one that Jenny and Forrest Gump jumped in when they ran to each other 😜🤣#washingtondc #thedistrict #uscapitol #nationalmonuments #lincolnmemorial #reflectingpool #washingtonmonument #abrahamlincoln #civilwarhistory #ushistory #chillspot #blueskiesandsunshine #brilliantlybohemian #bossgirlbloggers #creativewanderers #daytrippin #dctourism #gypsysoul (at Lincoln Memorial)

My favorite museum in D.C. is easily the National Gallery of Art, as well as it’s sculpture garden. With the surrounding architecture, museums and monuments, it’s no surprise it can often get overlooked. Still, it’s a great place to wander through or hang out on a sunny day. 🌳🏛🎨👩‍🎨 #washingtondc #thedistrict #dctourism #nationscapital #uscapitol #dcmuseums #nationalgalleryofart #nationalgallery #sculpturegarden #metaltree #amor #gypsysoul #brilliantlybohemian #bossgirlbloggers #daytrippin #chillspot #wanderers (at National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden)

Confession: one of my favorite hobbies is genealogical research. 🤓🤷‍♀️ Anyone else? As of now, I have only worked on my own lineage but I have also considered the possibility of pursuing it professionally. The National Archives in DC is a treasure trove of resources and right in my back yard. Ohhh the possibilities...🏛😍🌸 #nationalarchives #greekarchitecture #dcarchitecture #corinthiancolumns #reliefcarving #records #familyresearch #familytree #familyhistory #genealogy #nerdalert #cherryblossomfestival #washingtondc #thedistrict #dcmetro #localtourist #tourismdc #brilliantlybohemian #gypsysoul #daytripper (at National Archives Building)

‘Tis the season in the DC area!🍒🌸 Many things have transpired during these past winter months. As a result, I took a much needed hiatus from social media, both personally and with my blog. I’ve had time to embrace changes in hopes of reconnecting with myself and the direction I’m taking my life! It’s a new chapter and so it felt appropriate to kick things off with a photo that everyone associates with spring and, of course, rebirth. I’ve missed you all! 💗 The journey continues...#blog #dc #wanderers #journeycontinues #imback #washingtondc #capital #tidalbasin #cherryblossomdc #cherryblossom #creativewanderers #springtime #springflowers #rebirth #journeyofagypsysoul #brilliantlybohemian #blogger #metamorphosis #newchapter (at Washington, District of Columbia)
