We decided at the last minute to head down to the Tidal Basin on Monday afternoon and check out the cherry blossoms. I had originally told the girls we were going to a children's garden but at the last minute decided I didn't want to drive that far and end up coming home during rush hour. They were not happy about the change. The first 20 minutes at the Tidal Basin I heard "but I wanted to go to the children's garden" more times than I can count. From both girls. They finally snapped out of it at the promise of climbing the steps of the Jefferson Memorial and enjoyed the rest of our outing. And I learned my lesson.
We ended up walking around the whole basin and stopped a few times to hang out in the grass and enjoy the blossoms and the perfect weather. The blossoms were so white. Especially compared to how pink they would become in just a few days. I loved seeing the contrast of white and green. The girls had fun giving each other piggyback rides and Amelia taught Elsa the cherry blossom dance she's learning in her ballet class (video to come).
