Blossoms

Jared and I went down to the cherry blossom festival today. It is so PRETTY! I've always loved spring...but after today I think I've never known what spring was. In California, we get the mustard that blooms and takes over all the hills, which has always been my favorite. But we never get trees that are taken over by flowers. No leaves...just flowers. It's incredible! Also, I now understand the phrase, "spring has sprung" because it literally SPRUNG! I mean, one day the trees were skeletons, and the next they've exploded with color. Here is an example. I took the picture on the left last Saturday, and the picture on the right today in the same spot. See what I mean?

Here are a few more of my favorite pictures from our walk around the Tidal Basin today.

 

And here's a little video of the things we saw today...including a sighting of Marine Force One. That helicopter flew back and forth over the Tidal Basin all day. Maybe the Obamas just wanted a good view of the pretty blossoms!



HAPPY SPRING!
