Adventures involving blossoms...

Last Saturday was the only time for us to see the blossoms while they were still at their peak. Unfortunately, it was probably the busiest day of the cherry blossom festival. We walked over to the less crowded Haupt Gardens to check on our magnolia trees. Sadly, they were pretty much done blooming, but it was still pretty. We made an attempt at the tidal basin, but walking around it was virtually impossible. So we caught a glimpse and headed out. It made me extra glad that I had my early morning blossom experience earlier in the week.

The people, I mean cherry blossoms:





There were so many people with bikes trying to get around. That seemed like a disaster.


A shot without people!

Saturday night we enjoyed the fireworks that were part of the Cherry Blossom Festival. Last year we watched them from Hains Point close to the launch spot, but I did not want to head back into the traffic since it was so bad during the day. We decided to try out Gravelly Point and it was the perfect place. The fireworks show was awesome.
