Cherry Blossom Festival



Last Thursday we went to the Cherry Blossom in DC and it was soooo pretty. It was a bit of a cloudy day but wonderful anyways. It was great to do this as a family. I couldn't believe how many trees there were and they were so pretty Ginger loved being able to just run around like crazy of course I nearly had a heart attack the whole time we were by the water cuz' there wasn't a rail to stop her if she fell EEKK!! She didn't of course. When we got to the Jefferson Memorial they had a stage set up and they were playing music and they had dancers. Ginger loved the music as soon as we got closer she was a dancing fool. Then she ran up the steps (I followed) and she would sit and take a break every now and then. She did pretty good listening to us (SHOCK!!!) but of course since she's 2 1/2 she didn't listen every time. It was a wonderful day.

I remember when Grandpa and I went to the Cherry Blossoms in DC. It was so amazing to walk along the river and see and smell such beauty. You are lucky to be able to be in such an amazing place. I am glad you are enjoying it. I always wished I could live close to DC for a few years just to visit all the sights. What a great experience for all of you.
