Cherry Blossoms

Sometimes the best laid plans get altered as you go...

We had plans to go to the Zoo today with friends, but I think every other family in town had the same plan, and we couldn't get any parking. :( So we switched gears and decided to head down to the Tidal Basin to look at the cherry blossoms, which hit peak tomorrow. There were still oodles of people, and there wasn't any parking too close, but we managed to find a wonderful spot, without too many people, right next to the water. So it ended up being a fabulous afternoon! Thanks V, R, and A!!!!

The view of the Jefferson Memorial, the Tidal Basin, and the trees

Cherry Blossoms

Climbing the trees. :) C and R had a great time playing in the trees. V and I both remarked how nice it is that a boy and a girl can still play together and find something in common that they both want to do. They had a great time!!!

Looking for sticks to throw in the water. P and A are too little to climb the trees, so they spent their time tossing stuff in. :)

Still climbing the trees. :) We found one that fit all of them!

Me and the boys.

We were planning on heading in this weekend to see the trees with Karl, BUT, after seeing the gobs of people that were there on a Wednesday, I think that we may forget about the weekend. :) They certainly are beautiful though!!!!
