This week Justin and I went to Washington D.C. in hopes of seeing signs of Spring in their famous Cherry Blossom Festival. The blossoms were a gift from the Japanese and line the entire tidal basin. I had been so looking forward to this (especially after our trip to Niagara Falls was unexpectedly cancelled) and could picture in my mind how gorgeous they would look reflecting on the water. When we got there it was a little disappointing to see that because of the unusually cold winter only a few of the trees actually blossomed. Gorgeous they were, but the dramatic effect of seeing them surrounding the entire tidal basin was absent.
The rest of our time there was anything but disappointing. I LOVED D.C.! I had been once before on a school field trip but never appreciated all the history and beauty it has to offer. We made all the usual stops a tourist does including Arlington cemetery, the monuments, museums, and Georgetown Cupcakes. We did not have one bad meal while we were there and got a few signs of spring after all.
Keep you posted,
