it's cherry blossom time!
the national cherry blossom festival has been going on for the last two weekends, but the blooms weren't really happening until late last week. with the freezing cold front moving in today, i'd say they barely got a good week of blooms in there, poor trees!
nevertheless, the festival has brought in lots of tourists and we've ventured out a few times ourselves to get a look at all that's happening.

last weekend we went to the southwest waterfront festivities. there were market stalls, food trucks, the fish market, and fireworks!
there have also been a couple of days that i've walked down to the mall from the office to check out the flowers closer to the lincoln memorial. one evening i walked down with a high school best friend who was in town visiting!
