Cherry Blossom Time!

It is one of my favorite times of the year in DC. The trees were beautiful and we were able to walk around the whole Tidal Basin. Pictures of the cherry blossoms never do them justice, so you'll all have to come and visit us next year so you can see for yourselves. It was another chilly spring day but as the morning went on it warmed up and was beautiful and sunny. It was fun to be with Missy and RuLynn. I didn't have all the boys with me which made it easier, but I like to share days like that with them all, so I missed Nate and Spence a bit. Would have like to have Matt there too.
We thought about going to the fireworks last night or maybe going in this morning for another walk but I think we were all too worn out from the hectic game schedule yesterday. I'm happy that basketball is over. They enjoyed it but now we are starting baseball for Spence and soccer for Nate and Sam. Cam continues to be the troubled spectator.

This is the view of the Jefferson Memorial from the FDR side.

I thought this picture was so funny.  He was pulling all sorts of faces for me.  I PROMISE, he does not realize what he is doing with his finger.

The blossoms grow right out of the tree trunks.
