Dave had the day off today so we headed out to see the cherry blossoms before the rain forecasted for this weekend washes them away. We scored a parking spot right by the MLK memorial then headed over to lay our blanket down under the cherry blossoms along the tidal basin. The weather, the company and the scenery made for one of the BEST days I've had in a while. I love spring time in DC!
The detail on the MLK memorial is remarkable and going during the daytime really allows you to enjoy all it has to offer. While making our way to the tidal basis we had blossoms shower us. The wind was blowing just enough that the blossoms would glide through the air in groups like a school of fish. Ian and Suzie didn't quite know what to make of it, but we thought it was pretty cool :-)
This year, 2012, is 100 years since Japan gave the United States the gift of trees. I sure am glad to be able to enjoy such beauty on a yearly basis, thank you Japan!
