Cherry Blossom Time in Washington

Spring is my favorite time of year here in Washington. I love the fact that the winters are far shorter here than they were in my native Massachusetts. My girls and I enjoy going down to the tidal basin to see the trees, and we did so this past weekend. It’s a sight that I never get tired of, but we did not stay long becuase the crowds were so big. The weather was balmy and sunny, so there was a huge crush of pedestrians pushing and shoving and taking up every spare square inch of ground. We took a few pictures and then turned around and came home. Here’s a photo that Leila took of me with my somewhat scowling expression because people kept walking in front of the camera and I had a doozy of a headache.
