We have been really busy the last two weeks, but on Friday we managed to make a little time to go down to the Mall to see the cherry blossoms after work. We found out Thursday that they had just peaked the day before that even though the peak normally lasts a few days but we couldn't really tell the difference. I think all the snow this year probably made bloom predictions impossible. The cherry trees were really pretty and we got a few good pictures (link below). We stayed for sunset and had a great time. There were tons of a people which kind of detracted from the beauty, but the sunset made up for it! We were told by someone that there are some pretty neighborhoods on the northern side of the city that have a lot of blossoms that are pretty to drive around so we might try to check that out once my test is over this week.

Not much else is going on around here. The weather is gorgeous and is even going to be "summer-like" in the next few days. I hope it goes back to "spring" after that, but my southern bones are still thawing out from the winter so I'm happy with all the sunshine and warmth I can get! Once Ryan's leg heals we hope to start riding our bikes and running. The bikes would have been handy for seeing the blossoms. Oh and to clarify, yes I have to wait for Ryan to bike because I still get easily lost in this city--it's the whole only traveling underground thing. :)
Hope everyone is having as beautiful weather as we are and are enjoying it! Miss everyone and have a great week!
The cherry blossoms are very pretty! I still remember the one time we were there when they were in bloom. Some Japanese vacationers came up to me and wanted to know where the cherry blossoms were? I pointed to all the trees in full bloom and said right there!!! Ha! Ha! Love YOu Mom
