Cherry Blossoms!



We live outside of Washington, DC and although we do take the kids up to the museums and other "touristy" stuff, we avoid the high peak tourist season like the plague. I see no reason to go and fight the crowds of people if we don't have to.

The city has amazing Cherry Blossom trees that unfortunately bloom only once a year for about a two week period and those trees bring in throngs of tourists. I have avoided those two weeks more than any other time. You will see more fanny packs and double strollers in one day in DC during this time period than any other time in your life combined. And that's saying something!

But this year we decided to brave the crowds and do it. It was about 75 and BEAUTIFUL! And except for losing Owen in the tulip patch, it was a great day. Here's some of my favorite pics from the day.

Enjoy!















Hope you enjoyed them as much as I liked taking them. :)

Great pictures. I love the cherry blossoms. Wish we had more of those and less of the pollen.
