Another quick day trip, but one that was good for the soul. I headed to Bull Run Regional Park in Manassas, Virginia, which is just a short distance from the famous Manassas Battlefield (also known as the Battle of Bull Run), to see the famous Virginia bluebells. These beauties weren't quite in full peak yet, but there were still enough of them to make for a lovely walk.
Bluebells bloom about the same time as the famous Washington, D.C. cherry blossoms -- around April or May. The funny thing is I've never seen them till now (April 8, 2013), and I've lived here for over 20 years now. I guess the moral of the story is: There are plenty of things to do in your own backyard, if you just take a look around.
