Spring at Washington's Hillwood Estate

Although we've been here several times before, we decided to make a spring visit Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens, the home of Marjorie Merriweather Post, legendary heiress of General Foods, diplomat, philanthropist and distinguished collector of French and Russian art and jewelry. We were there just slightly past peak for some of its many azaleas and rhododendrons, but still the grounds were lovely at this time of year.
