Cherry Blossom Festival

We drove down to DC to check out the Cherry Blossom Festival this past weekend. The weather was unbelievably windy but at least it was some what warm. The color on the trees were not as vibrant as I had anticipated, but we have had a lot of rain and wind. Here is one of the pictures we snapped of a grouping of trees. You can read about the history of these trees here.

The trees are all around the Mall area and the Lincoln memorial. Absolutely gorgeous!

The boys.


The family.


There was a parade on Saturday. We saw the tail of the parade and just happened to see Elmo.


Grandma (or gamma as Tee says) in front of the memorial.

It was a nice visit to DC. Each time we go we get to see something different. I have to say it is nice living so close.
