Blossoming Festival of Cherry Trees


Dear DC,

What a fantastic day! While many parts of the country are suffering through blizzards, we are rocking out in true Spring style.

We started off by going to the Cherry Blossom Parade. For those who know me know that I am not a parade fan, but because my extra awesome wife loves parades its always a good time with her. We showed up late to the parade but still found an awesome spot along Constitution right in front of the White House to view the parade. There were plenty of marching bands, floats, and those large group of people that you aren't really sure why they are in the parade...but whatever.

Then there was the street festival, which just had tons and tons of people all crowding around the booths so that you can't really see what kind of over priced jewelry was being sold. I suppose once you've seen one you've seen them all though. It was still fun though, just being out in the middle of the city with lots of people out enjoying the sights.

The day was perfect for festivaling. After a few days of clouds and rain this past week, today was freaking awesome. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the sun was something that hasn't been seen in a long time. Hey...what is that thing the sun does to you when you are out in it for a while? Oh yeah...sun burn, Yeah..we have one of those now.

Although the best part about today would be finding another insanely good sushi restaurant for lunch. And of course, we had to get their seasonal specialty, the Cherry Blossom Roll. Sooo good. Go Momoyama!

With blossoming cherry tree love,

Kyle
