There&#8217;s nothing quite like Washington DC anywhere else in the world.  I&#8217;ve been to 56 countries, and have seen many beautiful locations.  I still feel quite a bit of pride in how pretty Washington is, especially in the Spring.  When the ornamental cherry trees bloom around the city, it&#8217;s spectacular.<\/p>\n<p>Today, my partner and I got up well before dawn and drove into the city, found a place to park near my partner&#8217;s office, which is just a block from the Tidal Basin.  Even though it was very early and very cold (35F), there still were a lot of people out &#8212; though I wouldn&#8217;t say that it was crowded. <\/p>\n<p>I leathered up from head to boot and we took a nice stroll.  I posted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/trees\/\">a gallery of photos on my website<\/a>.  We enjoyed our short visit, though I was back home and back to work on my long list of things to do on the weekend by 8:30.   <br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While I&#8217;m not a city boy, and generally after working all day in the city I look forward to high-tailing it out to our suburban hide-away, I still recognize that I live in a very special place in the world. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/?p=51\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,8,22,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-leather-lifestyle","category-motorcycle-boots","category-washington-dc","category-wesco-boots"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=51"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=51"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=51"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=51"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
